Debutante on cards for Viztoria

Ado McGuinness could supplement Viztoria for the Debutante Stakes at the Curragh next month following her impressive debut at Naas last week.

The youngster was a 33-1 chance for a maiden which attracted runners from the more fashionable stables of Aidan O'Brien, Dermot Weld and David Wachman, but she slammed them all by seven and a half lengths.

McGuinness is now keen to test his filly's powers at a higher level.

"We're going to try to get some black type for her and we're probably going to supplement her for the Debutante," said McGuinness.

"If we went there she'd be stepping up to seven furlongs, but that shouldn't be a problem for her. She's an easy-going filly and she has always shown me a lot.

"I probably underestimated myself going into the race the other day because of the horses we were taking on, but she is a very good filly.

"Ian Brennan, who rode her the other day, has loved her since the first day he rode her work.

"The other day was her first day galloping on grass, so I think she'll improve a bit.

"She looked a stakes filly the other night, so we'll give her a go at that level and see how we get on.

"I don't think she needs the ground very soft. Two months ago we brought her to Dundalk for a schooling race with 16 horses in it and she literally destroyed them.

"That was on the all-weather, so I think she'll be better on better ground. Not necessarily fast ground, but she'll go on better ground all right.

"There has been a lot of interest in her, but I think the owner has declined to sell."
