Joseph's Agartha leads the way as O'Briens dominate Group 3 Fairy Bridge field

Coolmore Stud No Nay Never Fairy Bridge Stakes (Group 3) | 7½f, 3yo+ | RTV

Aidan and Joseph O'Brien are responsible for seven of the 11 fillies lining up in this intriguing Group 3, and it's Joseph who looks to hold the stronger hand.

The eye is immediately drawn to Agartha, joint top-rated with a mark of 107. She has held her form well at three with some solid runs this season, including when fifth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, and dropping back in trip after her flop in the Belmont Oaks looks a good move by connections.

Of her three stablemates, Illuminazione is the most interesting. She overcame race rival Honey Girl on her debut at Dundalk last month and is of significant interest on her first Group start.

Honey Girl joins Agartha at the top of the ratings, but she's winless from six career starts so far, and her Dundalk loss when overturned at odds of 1-5 leaves her with plenty of questions to answer in this company.

Galleria Borghese is one of three in the field for Aidan O'Brien, and was far from disgraced in the Kilboy Estate Stakes behind Lily Pond last time. She's joined by stablemates Prettiest, fresh from a good run in Listed company at Galway, and West Coast.

The form of Spring Feeling's recent course-and-distance maiden win received a major boost with the second easily winning at Bellewstown on Wednesday, and her trainer Ken Condon will be hoping there is more to come.

British-trained runners have won this twice in the last five years, and David O'Meara sends over Improvised for a crack at the €55,000 contest, while the field is completed by Ger Lyons' Sh Boom.

What they say

David O'Meara, trainer of Improvised
She ran well at York. She was a little bit lazy through the race so I've put cheekpieces on for this. She seems in good form and has come out of York well.

Joseph O'Brien, trainer of Night Of Romance, Statement, Agartha and Illuminazione
Night Of Romance had been progressive before running below par at Galway. She was a little interfered there so we're hoping she can come back to her previous form. It'll be Statement's first run for us and we're still finding out a bit about her. Agartha is coming back in trip and, if she can reproduce some of the form she showed in the spring, she should go close hopefully. Illuminazione won her maiden well the last day. We've always liked her and it'd be great if we could get some black type with her.

Aidan O'Brien, trainer of Galleria Borghese, Prettiest and West Coast
Galleria Borghese has been in good form since the last day. We're going back in trip again with her, but we're very happy with how she's been since. Prettiest ran a good race in Galway over this trip and she's been in good order since. We think the slight drop back in trip will suit West Coast a bit better and hopefully she can go well.

Ken Condon, trainer of Spring Feeling
All is good with her. Obviously it's a big step up in grade, but she's a filly who looks progressive and is entitled to take her chance. We'll get a good steer as to where she'll go in the future, but we're just hoping she runs well.
