Expert analysis and key quotes as Harrington bids to continue fine form

Tuesday: 4.05 Punchestown
Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap | 1m1f | 3yo+ | RTV

Cases can be made for plenty in this €20,000 event and Jessica Harrington's two representatives are an obvious starting point, given her sensational dual Group 1 winning weekend.

Aurora Princess may be more recognisable as the filly who mistakenly ran in the place of her two-year-old stablemate at Galway but she's steadily progressing into quite a useful operator in her own right.

Three of her eight official starts this year have yielded success, the first coming off 63 and the latest off 77 this month.

A 3lb rise for that game Clonmel success may not be enough to stop the major improver, but her draw in stall 12 might.

Stablemate My Holy Fox will have to come from even wider in stall 14 but is an unexposed three-year-old with the potential to improve beyond her opening mark of 83.

Ger Lyons was the other dominant force on Longines Irish Champions Weekend and his Juddmonte filly Flagged makes plenty of appeal in a first-time tongue-tie.

From his last 26 runners, Lyons has sent out eight winners and six placed runners and Flagged brings some solid form to the table.

She was particularly unfortunate to bump into Blandford Stakes winner La Petite Coco and Irish 1,000 Guineas fourth Belle Image at Killarney in May but this trip could be right up her street.

Shahaada is one of two live contenders for Shadwell after her breakthrough at Clonmel 12 days ago, while the Dermot Weld-trained Umneyaat is an interesting candidate in the first-time visor.

Kush looks to have been given a reasonable opening mark of 75 and can show that her 80-1 Gowran maiden win was no fluke by showing up well here.

Expect her to be handy with the well-drawn Dedillon, who is probably better than she showed last time at Galway.

What they say

Andrew Slattery, trainer of Dedillon
We're happy with her draw in stall 1 but the handicapper probably has her measure. Jake [Coen] takes the ride and his 10lb claim will help her. She missed the kick a little last time but still kept on well enough.

Jessica Harrington, trainer of My Holy Fox and Aurora Princess
They're two grand fillies who won on their last starts and I'm hopeful they can run well. Fingers crossed there'll be enough ease in the ground for My Holy Fox.

Ross O'Sullivan, trainer of Kush
She looks to have a nice weight and the ground should be perfect for her. We hope she's improved from her maiden win, she's progressed with each run so far. Her performance last time wasn't a surprise on what she had been showing us. She's shown ability but it was a case of keeping her head right.

Kevin Prendergast, trainer of Shahaada
She's very dependent in terms of the ground. If it came up good to firm she'd have a chance, but she wouldn't want an ease. She won nicely last time and this is a step up in class.
