Eddie Lynam is looking forward to taking the wraps off his Group One-winning sprinter Romantic Proposal.

The Raven's Pass mare won the top-level Derrinstown Stud Flying Five Stakes over five furlongs at the Curragh in September before finishing unplaced behind A Case Of You on unsuitable deep ground in the Prix de l'Abbaye in France the following month.

She has five victories in her locker - three at the Curragh including at Listed level and two in Cork.

The trainer said: "She's in a Group 2 at York (Clipper Logistics Stakes) and a Group 2 at the Curragh next month. The plan is to give her a start off before she goes for one of those. She might run in the Woodlands at Naas. If she keeps going the right way, that is where she will start.

"She has wintered well and I'm very happy with her. She's strong and a good filly.

"She won't be going to the Abbaye but we will be hoping for Royal Ascot, it has been lucky for us before!"

Sole Power was a double winner of the Group One King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot for Lynam's stable.
