Willie McCreery has the Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh next weekend in mind for Vespertilio

Successful in a Listed contest at the Co. Kildare venue in June, the Night Of Thunder four-year-old was last seen finishing second in the Ballyogan Stakes.

"It depends what the weather will do, I think it's supposed to be a dry week," McCreery remarked.

"We didn't get the rain we were meant to get, although the Curragh would be soft at the minute. We'll see what the weather does over the week.

"She bumped into a good filly last time (Sky Majesty) and was probably on the wrong side a little bit.

"Nathan (Crosse) actually hit a ridge before he went for her and that probably just set her back a length.

"We'll go for that at the moment (Renaissance Stakes), depending on ground."
