Oaks runner-up Moonstone and Epsom third Katiyra are set to re-oppose in the Irish equivalent at the Curragh on Sunday.

Both were put in their place by Look Here in the Vodafone Oaks but as Ralph Beckett's charge will not be in Ireland, they hold strong claims of winning the Darley-sponsored Classic.

Moonstone's trainer Aidan O'Brien is mob-handed at this stage with seven of the 18 possibles coming from his all-conquering Ballydoyle yard, with Adored and the once-raced maiden winner Gentle On My Mind being other interesting contenders

Mad About You, second in the Pretty Polly, and Chinese White, unplaced at Epsom, give Dermot Weld a strong hand while Jim Bolger, the man to follow this season, can choose from Ard Fheis and Prima Luce but he decided against supplementing Lush Lashes.

Andre Fabre has a fascinating contender in Gagnoa, second behind Zarkava in the French Oaks last time.

British interests rest with Brian Meehan's Icon Project, Rae Guest's Rosa Grace and Mick Quinlan's Silk Affair.
