Jessica Harrington does not expect ground conditions to trouble Final Frontier in the Jebel Ali Racecourse & Stables Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday.

The son of Dream Ahead made a big impression when bolting up on his debut over the course and distance last month, pulling clear of his rivals in taking fashion.

With the going currently described as good to yielding and more rain forecast, Final Frontier is set to tackle an easier surface this weekend, but Harrington is not concerned.

"I don't have any worries about the ground, I think he will be fine on it." said the Moone-based trainer.

"I'm hoping he will run a big race. He was very impressive on his first run and I'm hoping he has improved from it."

Final Frontier takes on four opponents, including Antelope Canyon, who was 10 lengths in arrears three weeks ago, but has since won at Roscommon for Aidan O'Brien.

He wore cheek-pieces for the first time at the western venue and is now fitted with blinkers.

Queen Of Sicily impressed when winning on debut at Naas and takes on the boys for Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning.

The other filly in the line-up is Miss Katie Mae, who is held in high regard by her trainer Ger Lyons.

Mark Johnston's British raider Rogues' Gallery completes the field.

The Fast Company colt has is the most experienced participant having run seven times, including a runaway victory at Ayr and a fifth placed finish in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot.

He just failed to get up on his most recent outing at Chester and steps up in trip to six furlongs for the first time on his first start in Ireland.
