Cuis Ghaire Faces Three In Tyros

Wed 23 Jul, 01:09 PM


1000 Guineas favourite Cuis Ghaire will face just three rivals in Thursday night's Group Three Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown.

Jim Bolger's star juvenile filly completed a hat-trick of victories at Royal Ascot last month.

She took a while to get on top in the six-furlong Albany Stakes before eventually running out a comfortable winner.

And Thursday night's race sees her step up to seven furlongs for the first time.

After Ascot both Bolger and jockey Kevin Manning said the daughter of Galileo was crying out for the longer distance.

Heading the opposition will be Aidan O'Brien's Rip Van Winkle, who was just pipped by another Bolger inmate Tomas An Tsioda on his Curragh debut last month, before being awarded the race in the stewards' room.

Kevin Prendergast's Vilasol, second last time out to Ryehill Dreamer in the Listed Golden Fleece Stakes at Leopardstown, also figures in the field here.

And Lac A Dancer from the Ger Lyons yard completes the four runners.
