Raydara set for Irish 1,000 Guineas The Aga Khan's Raydara remains on course for the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh on May 24 after skipping the English equivalent earlier this month as connections felt the Newmarket feature came a little too soon. Trainer Michael Halford is pleased with the daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar, who was last seen in public beating Qipco 1000 Guineas runner-up Lucida in the Group Two Debutante Stakes at the Curragh in August. "She's on target for the Irish Guineas. Hopefully we'll get her ground there, but she's in good form and we're happy with her. It's so far, so good," said the County Kildare handler. "Her form last year stands up very well and we're looking forward to getting her going." A daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar, Raydara is as short as 20-1 for the Investec Oaks at Epsom on June 5.
