Princess Child
Group 3 winner at Tipperary (7.5f, yielding) at the end of last summer; matched that form when second in 1m Group 3 at the Curragh (soft/heavy) but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at the Curragh last time.

From the connections
“If any horse deserved to win a stakes race, it is Princess Child, but you don't always get what you deserve. I don't know how many times she has been placed in stakes races without winning one, and we were campaigning her aggressively to win one. She had built a whole load of black type, but you have to win one too. I would say that will be a career best, and when a horse wins a race they get confidence from it. We'll see where next, but she is a Group winner now, which is kind of job done, but we will try and win another one now - Joseph O'Brien, trainer.”
“Once we straightened up I knew I would pick them up because they were kind of paddling in front. Princess Child is a very consistent filly and hopefully she can progress into stakes company again and get her head in front - Dylan Browne McMonagle, jockey.”
