McCreery 'looking forward' to Mary Tudor's Guineas trial A strong list of 16 entries have been received for the Group Three Derrinstown Stud 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown on Sunday. Aidan O’Brien again holds a strong hand with four of the early nominations including the Group Two winner Magical. Who's Steph, an impressive Group Three winner at Leopardstown last month, is set to make her debut for new owner George Strawbridge while Yorkshire trainer Karl Burke could be represented by Group Three winner Ellthea, who made a successful trip to Naas last season. Mary Tudor may look to book her place in the Irish 1000 Guineas after impressing in the Salsabil Stakes at Navan last month for trainer Willie McCreery. McCreery said today: “Mary Tudor has come out of her first run of the season really well. Sunday will be on better ground again and back over the Guineas trip to it will be a nice trial for her. "I feel the better the ground the better she will be and it was just nice to get that win with her as she had some very good form last year. She is growing and maturing all the time and she’s getting more relaxed too so we are looking forward to Sunday.” Children under the age of 18 accompanied by an adult at Leopardstown this Sunday will gain free entry.
