It's eight years since Giant's Causeway introduced himself to the racing world with a debut victory at Naas and his full sister, You'resothrilling, will attempt to gain her first ever success over the same course and distance in today's Group Three Bank Holiday feature.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly will have to tackle five opponents who are already winners, and the British raider May Day Queen, in the Swordlestown Stud Sprint Stakes which can prove a significant pointer to future top class events.
O'Brien scored with the subsequent Moyglare and Prix Marcel Boussac winner Rumplestiltskin in 2005 and another future Group One heroine, Damson, scored the year before that.
The evidence of You'resothrilling's Curragh debut just nine days ago is that she may well have the talent as well as the pedigree to attain similar status.
Very much the stable second string behind Achilles Of Troy in a five-furlong Listed race, she was taken off her feet early only to sail through in the closing stages with just Pencil Hill finishing in front of her.
With that experience under her belt, and crucially another furlong to cover, she will be tough for the likes of Saoirse Abu, whose Curragh victory at the Guineas festival earned her classic quotes, and the course and distance winner Raja, who is owned by the sponsor, Cathal Ryan, to cope with.
Dandy Man has his first start since being bought by Sheikh Mohammed's wife, Princess Haya Of Jordan, in the Listed Sprint. Ireland's top sprinter was an intended starter in the Temple Stakes at Sandown last week only for the ground to turn too soft and instead he returns to the scene of his seasonal debut when scorching home from Flash McGahon.
Dandy Nicholls sends the Newmarket winner Tax Free and Desert Lord represents Kevin Ryan while Osterhase, winner in 2006 and 2004, has another crack at the €50,000 event. But Dandy Man at his best should be able to win again.
Michael Kinane is a significant booking by Pat Flynn for the hugely progressive She's Our Mark in the seven-furlong conditions race. Winner of a Limerick handicap off 74 last month, She's Our Mark followed up in style at the Curragh off 8lb higher and is now rated at 103.
Not surprisingly Flynn moves her into conditions class and although Namaya's 110 rating makes him an obvious danger, She's Our Mark should be capable of impressing her new jockey.
Tony Martin and Johnny Farrelly team up at Listowel for Aggie's Lad in the three-mile handicap hurdle and last month's seven-length Aintree winner looks a stand out off just 10.1.
Noel Meade sends Athlumney Lad south for his first start since December in the two-mile conditions hurdle and the six month absence should be no obstacle to this versatile sort getting his head in front.
Cuchulains Son followed up a good run in the big bumper at Punchestown by scoring at Roscommon and today's finale looks a suitable opportunity for Willie Mullins's horse.
