Moyglare a possible for Lashes

Laughing Lashes could test the water at the highest level on her next start following a stylish victory in the Debutante Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

The grey headed into the Group Two contest on the back of two narrow defeats but opened her account in impressive style under Fran Berry.

Her trainer Jessica Harrington was thrilled with that performance and is considering the Moyglare Stud Stakes as her next objective, for which she would have to be supplemented at a cost of 23,500 euros.

"She has come out of the race absolutely fine and is out in the field enjoying herself this morning," said the County Kildare handler.

"She seems to be improving all the time and I think that little bit of cut in the ground they had on Sunday helped her as she's a big filly.

"We haven't had a proper discussion yet but I am leaning towards supplementing her for the Moyglare (August 29).

"It would be another step up but she's a Group Two winner now and has earned this step up."

Looking ahead to next season, Harrington feels she could have a real Classic contender on her hands, but is keen not to get too far ahead of herself.

"I hope she could be a Guineas filly next season and maybe even an Oaks filly, as I do think she'd stay," Harrington added.

"But we'll take it all one day at a time with her. It's still a long way off and we have to get through the winter yet.

"She does want a bit of cut in the ground so we'll have to bear that in mind and maybe that would cause us to lean towards staying in Ireland."
