Three of today's Pick6 races at the Curragh are Group 1 events in which Aidan O'Brien's influence predominates. Ballydoyle supplies ten of the aggregate 20 runners in the Moyglare Stud Stakes, the National Stakes and the Irish St Leger.

Last year's winner Order Of St George towers above the opposition in the all-age Group 1 contest and the stable has a firm grip on the juvenile fillies' event. Ryan Moore's mount Promise To Be True may end up vying for market leadership with Rhododendron, who had four of today's rivals behind when winning the Debutante Stakes at the course last month. Reading between the lines, there may be very little between the pair on home reputation.
