RACING NEWS ROUND-UP: IRELAND’S PREMIER race for juvenile fillies, the Moyglare Stud Stakes, has been an almost exclusively home affair in recent years, but Richard Hannon’s 1,000 Guineas favourite Memory is odds-on to change that at the Curragh on Sunday.

The unbeaten Memory is the sole cross-sea entry among the 16 left in after yesterday’s forfeit stage, but the Cherry Hinton and Albany Stakes winner was immediately installed as a 4 to 5 favourite.

Mail The Desert, in 2002, has been the only British winner of the Moyglare in the last 13 years, and Hannon said yesterday he can hardly wait to send the Highclere Thoroughbreds-owned filly to Ireland after a satisfactory work-out under Richard Hughes at the weekend.

“Hughesie was really pleased with Memory. Although she messed about a bit at home in the spring, she has become so much more professional,” said the trainer, who won the weekend highlight in 1993 with Lemon Souffle. “She is fresh and raring for another race, so Sunday’s can’t come quick enough.”

Leading the home defence will be Laughing Lashes, who was supplemented into the race at a cost of €23,500 yesterday, and who will attempt to secure trainer Jessica Harrington a first Group One success on the flat.

Aidan O’Brien is a four-time Moyglare winner, but it is five years since Rumplestiltskin last won it for the champion trainer. He has six of the entries remaining in the seven-furlong event.

They include Misty For Me and Together, who chased home Laughing Lashes in the Group Two Debutante Stakes over the course and distance last time.

Wild Wind and Why look to be O’Brien’s other major contenders to line up.

Kevin Prendergast’s Seeharn is a Listed winner at the Curragh, but faded to fifth in the Debutante. Along with her stable companion Kissable, Seeharn could represent the veteran local trainer who landed the Moyglare with Termagant last year and Miss Beatrix in 2006.

Jim Bolger’s sole possible is Palinode, but the Carlow trainer has kept open the option of his former Group One performer Lush Lashes returning to action in Sunday’s Group Three Dance Design Stakes over nine furlongs.

Lush Lashes hasn’t been seen in action since last year’s Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh, and was covered by Sea The Stars earlier this year. The Galileo filly lost her foal, which prompted her trainer to bring her back to training.

She is among the Dance Design possibles, along with Henry Cecil’s Musidora winner Aviate and O’Brien’s You’ll Be Mine, who started this year as the ante-post Oaks favourite but hasn’t been seen since Leopardstown in March.

Bolger could also give Glor Na Mara, runner-up in last weekend’s Futurity, a quick reappearance in Sunday’s Round Tower Stakes over six furlongs, while a remarkable 17 of the 24 entries left in the Goffs Flying Five sprint are trained in Britain.

They include Group One winners Reverence, Benbaun and Total Gallery, as well as Glamorous Spirit, who won over the course and distance earlier this year for Welsh trainer Ron Harris.

The going at the Curragh yesterday as officially “good”, but an unsettled forecast over the next few days could change that.

PADDY POWER BET:4-5 Memory, 5 Laughing Lashes, 8 Wild Wind, Together, Misty For Me, 12 Seeharn, 16 Kissable, 20 bar.
