Curragh off agenda for Pamona Pamona is unlikely to line up in the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh next month. A drop down in grade is under consideration for t he Luca Cumani-trained filly, who chased home Curvy and Pleascach in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot last week. Harry Herbert, for owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, said: "The Irish Oaks is a possibility for Pamona but having spoken to Luca, it may be we go for a Listed race or a Group Three to nail that bold black type before going back up the ladder. "She was knocked in the straight in the Ribblesdale and though she wouldn't have won, she would have probably finished closer. "She is a class filly that is improving every with run. She might go and run a big race in the Irish Oaks but, at this stage, we feel we may step her back in grade."
