Trainer Willie McCreery is hoping for rain as Enfranchise bids for the Group 3 Comer Group International Loughbrown Stakes over an extended two-miles at the Curragh.

Last seen when finishing mid division at Galway last month, the mare had been placed at black type level on her first four starts of the season.

McCreery said: "Yes, hopefully (she will go there) - we will just let the rain Gods do a bit of work, wherever they are!

"She seems in great form, actually. Billy (Lee) rode a bit of work this morning and looking forward to it."
