Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden
5f 205y
Going: Good (Good to Firm in places)
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneIrish Champions Weekend 2021 will live long in the memory of Jessica Harrington and Ger Lyons, with both trainers saddling four winners each. Lyons is represented by PIRATE JENNY in this near six-furlong contest, with the daughter of Exceed And Excel just getting the nod over Harrington's Sablonne. The selection ran a fine race to finish second on debut last month and should come on plenty for that effort. Bought for £105,000 as a yearling, she is a half-sister to Barraquero who won the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood in 2017. Sablonne has some smart form to her name and was beaten by just a short head on her most recent start. She was far from disgraced when fifth of five in a Group 3 contest at Leopardstown in July and it'll come as little surprise if she manages to make the breakthrough now. Karkiyna is another strong contender in the line-up. She has shown plenty in three starts to date and should be able to make her presence felt here.
