The unbeaten Barry Hills-trained filly Bahr is set to head the British challenge for Sunday's Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh.

Winner of the Washington Singer Stakes at Newbury from Fruits Of Love on the second of her two starts, Bahr has been confirmed a runner by Hills. The only other confirmed British entry is the Cherry Hinton Stakes second Crazee Mental, although Peter Chapple-Hyam has not ruled out the possibility of running Sunday's impressive Deauville scorer, Woodland Melody.

The Irish team will feature John Oxx's Winona and Jim Bolger's Remarkable Style in addition to the Con Collins duo, Lady Alexander and Heed My Warning.

Aidan O'Brien, who ran four in last year's Moyglare, could again have a big team. "Heeremandi runs," O'Brien said yesterday. "I am not sure about the others yet."
