Classic clues at Limerick? Subsequent Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Bethrah won the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden a year ago and tomorrow at Limerick the 2011 renewal of the seven furlong event has attracted eleven runners. Dermot Weld, trainer of Bethrah, has another representative sporting the Hamdan Al Maktoum silks, the British-bred Olfa, a Dubawi first-timer, has got a rail draw in stall eleven. Hamdan Al Maktoum has another runner too in the shape of the Asheerah, a well-regarded daughter of Shamardal, who was a beaten favourite on all three starts at two. She will be ridden by Declan McDonogh and she's trained by Kevin Prendergast. In an intriguing little heat, John Oxx runs Dance Secretary, a promising third on her only outing – that coming at Leopardstown all of 278 days ago. Tommy Stack has a Danehill Dancer newcomer, London Plane engaged, Ballydoyle rely on another Danehill Dancer, Sionan, down the field behind Sapphire at the Curragh last month and Jim Bolger sends the experienced 82-rated Vastitas into battle. Meanwhile the well-known Eva's Request colours of Galway owner Liam Mulryan will be carried by Danny Grant on the Pat Flynn-trained debutante Yes Mam, a daughter of Acclamation.
