Last year's winner Sovereign Debt is among 19 entries for the Dubai Duty Free Celebration Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday.

The Dandy Nicholls-trained grey landed a convincing victory by four and three-quarter lengths from Flight Risk, and Jim Bolger's charge is also in the running for the Listed contest over a mile.

Aidan O'Brien has three possibles in French Derby also-ran Black Sea, Queen Anne Stakes eighth Cougar Mountain and the lightly-raced four-year-old Fluff.

Dermot Weld has put in Foxtrot Charlie, who looked a horse for the future when winning the Listed Glencairn Stakes on only his third start at Leopardstown earlier this month.

As well as Flight Risk, Bolger is considering this race for three-year-olds Round Two and Sanus Per Aquam.

Flight Risk and Johnny Murtagh's Yuften are in the other Listed race on the Irish Derby day card, the Dubai Duty Free Jumeirah Dash Stakes, as well as the Celebration.

All eyes in the Dash will be on G Force, who could have his first race for Adrian Keatley. The classy speedster won the 2014 Betfred Sprint Cup when trained by David O'Meara.

Popular sprinters Maarek and Moviesta, trained by Evanna McCutcheon and Eddie Lynam respectively, are in the mix along with other regulars such as Mick Halford's Toscanini and the David Marnane-trained Jamesie.

Aidan O'Brien is represented by Dick Whittington, The Happy Prince, Washington DC and Waterloo Bridge, while Jane's Memory from the Rae Guest yard is the sole UK entry.
