Newsletter is one of 13 fillies remaining in the TRM Ballyogan Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

The Ken Condon-trained three-year-old has really bounced back to her best, having seemingly lost her way in the second half of last season.

After finishing third in the Queen Mary behind Anthem Alexander and Tiggy Wiggy, beaten less than a length, connections rightly had high hopes for her.

She failed to reproduce that form in two subsequent runs last term, yet hinted she had trained on when third in a Listed race at Bath and impressively won the Kilvington Fillies' Stakes at Nottingham last month.

"All is good with her, she's come out of her win at Nottingham in great shape," said Condon.

"We had her entered at Naas on Monday but we decided to wait for the Curragh on Sunday instead.

"She'll go for the Ballyogan and then we'll see about Ascot, she has options."

Dermot Weld is doubly represented with Irish 1,000 Guineas seventh Stormfly and Tested, while others still in the mix include Charles O'Brien's Iveagh Gardens and Ainippe from the Ger Lyons stable.

There are three British-trained possibles - James Tate's Blhadawa, Rae Guest's Cape Factor and Zuhoor Baynoona from Richard Fahey's yard.
