RACING: Connections of Flashy Wings and Confidential Lady will wait until later in the week before confirming their participation in the 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh on Sunday.

Mark Prescott's Confidential Lady finished an excellent second to Speciosa in the Newmarket equivalent earlier this month while the Mick Channon-trained Flashy Wings was a disappointing 11th of the 13 runners.

However, neither are certain runners this weekend and Chris Richardson, managing director of Confidential Lady's owners, Cheveley Park Stud, says a decision on whether to go for the race or wait for the Epsom Oaks has yet to be taken.

"She went nicely in a spin this morning," said Richardson. "We haven't made a decision yet whether she goes to Ireland on Sunday or wait until later the week and go to Epsom.

"The ground will be a consideration and it will depend on how the filly is and how Mark feels the filly has come on since the Guineas.

"She may need the extra four or five days in which case we will wait and the owners will see the list of entries for Ireland and we will start to make a plan.

"It's early days to say which way we are going to jump.

"On breeding you have to question slightly whether she will stay the Oaks trip of a mile and a half but we're weighing that up along with the going on Sunday.

"And there's the Prix Diane (French Oaks) which we could wait for, but it's too early for me to call."

Channon is desperate to run Flashy Wings but the prevailing soft ground at the Curragh means her participation is in some doubt.

"I want to run her but I don't think the ground is going to be any good," said Channon.

"At this stage I would have thought that it is very unlikely that she will run.

"But saying that, we are in there, we're prepared and we're ready to go but she won't run if the ground is soft. We want to run her but we'll just have to wait and see.

"If we do have to miss the race she will go straight to Royal Ascot for the Coronation Stakes." Nasheej, a length behind Confidential Lady in third at Newmarket, has been left in the race by Richard Hannon.

A seven-strong British challenge is made up by Peter Chapple-Hyam's Dizzy Dreamer, Stan Moore's Dont Dili Dali and the Barry Hills-trained Short Dance.

Ed Dunlop's globetrotting mare Ouija Board will continue her preparation for the Coronation Cup when she works this morning. The five-year-old was last seen finishing an unlucky third in the Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Sha Tin in Hong Kong.

"She works tomorrow, hopefully the rain stays away and then all roads lead to Epsom," Dunlop said yesterday.
