41 in Cambridgeshire contention Ger Lyons is responsible for nine of the 41 horses in contention for the Tote Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh on Sunday. The County Meath handler's hand is headed by top weight Brendan Brackan, a Group Three winner over the course and distance, and also includes Chopin, Unsinkable and the prolific Cape Wolfe, who has won on his last three starts at Dundalk, Leopardstown and Naas. There are three potential British challengers in the 100,000 euro contest, with the Alistair Whillans-trained Pintura perhaps the most interesting after being narrowly denied big-race success at the Galway Festival at the start of the month. Ayaar and Examiner could also make the journey. Jim Bolger could saddle the three-year-old Algonquin, who recently completed a hat-trick for the year in the Listed Ruby Stakes at Killarney. Dermot Weld has left in Stuccodor and Katimavik, while Aidan O'Brien relies on Battle Of Marathon, Cradle Mountain and Bishan Bedi. There are plenty of exciting fillies entered for the Listed Flame Of Tara European Breeders Fund Stakes. Bridgets Fable and French Blue both won on debut for Willie McCreery and would warrant respect stepped up in class, while How High The Moon was a good winner at the track for Ballydoyle three weeks ago. Smash Williams made an impressive debut for Bolger at the course last week and could make a quick reappearance in the Round Tower Stakes. His potential opponents in the Group Three heat include Weld's runaway Leopardstown scorer Juliette Fair and Edward Lynam's Redstaroverchina, a surprise winner at Naas. The other Pattern race of the afternoon is the Dance Design Fillies Stakes, with Bocca Baciata, Brooch and My Titania all worth a mention.
