Glamorous Approach will face nine rivals in her bid to complete a hat-trick in the Munster Oaks at Cork on Sunday.

The Jim Bolger-trained filly appeared to have her limitations exposed at stakes level towards the end of last season, but has clearly raised her game as a four-year-old.

Since a pleasing reappearance when third in the Noblesse Stakes at this venue in April, the daughter of New Approach has won a handicap and a Listed prize at the Curragh, both in commanding style.

That latest victory came just last weekend and she makes a swift return in search of Group Three honours.

Aidan O'Brien, who has won this prize in each of the last three seasons, has four representatives in Like A Star, Butterflies, Key To My Heart and Pavlenko.

John Oxx also has a strong hand with Flying Fairies, Sea Swift and Bengala.

The Charles O'Brien-trained Santa Monica and Sea Swift from Dermot Weld's yard make up the field.
