Ballydoyle quintet feast on Oyster The Ardilaun Hotel Oyster Stakes is the feature on day one of the Galway September meeting, and Aidan O'Brien numerically dominates the line-up for this Listed event with five of the 12 declared fillies. Joseph O'Brien has elected to ride Shell House, twice a winner this season, and the daughter of Galileo has a three-figure rating thanks to her third to the Group Three Give Thanks Stakes at Cork. The champion trainer's daughter Ana continues her regular partnership with Beyond Brilliance, while Beach Of Falesa, Exotic and Just Gorgeous also represent Ballydoyle in this mile and a half contest. Johnny Murtagh is hopeful of a much better run from We'll Go Walking following a below par effort in the Hurry Harriet Stakes at Gowran Park last month. The Authorized four-year-old won on debut and was Listed placed when trained by Jim Bolger last term. She has put up a number of creditable performances in Stakes company this season, including when second to Tarfasha in the Group Three Blue Wind Stakes at Naas. Murtagh said: "We were disappointed with her the last time when she dropped out quickly. Gary (Carroll) said maybe he went a bit quick early, and we're hoping for a much better run. "Her form has been good up until her last run. She is a little bit keen so we are hoping she will settle well and get the trip." Murtagh rode the winner of this race three times this century for his former boss John Oxx, and the latter is represented by Tarana who carries a 3lb penalty for her Listed win in the Martin Molony Stakes at Limerick back in April. The Aga Khan is further represented by the Dermot Weld-trained Ebeyina, while the dozen runners are completed by Lady Giselle, Altesse, Maid Of The Glens and Ode To Psyche.
