Wild Illusion heads six possible rivals for Investec Oaks runner-up Pink Dogwood in the Group 1 Juddmonte Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on Friday following the final declaration stage.

The Godolphin-owned four-year-old, who finished sixth in the Prix d'Ispahan on her reappearance last month, will be seeking a fourth top-level success following her victories in the Prix Marcel Boussac in 2017 and in the Nassau Stakes and the Prix de l'Opera last season.

The seven declared runners also include David Lanigan's Dahlia Stakes winner Worth Waiting, who will have Frankie Dettori on board for the first time, and the Ger Lyons-trained Who's Steph, a three-time Group 3 winner whose participation hinges on the ground not drying out too much.

Joseph O'Brien's Iridessa, fourth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas on her most recent start, and Pink Dogwood's stablemates Magic Wand and Happen are also declared for the 1m2f event.
