Queen Mary third Curragh bound

Richard Hannon`s Roundtree is set to make a quick reappearance on Friday evening after her fine performance in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, it was revealed today.

Her target will be the Goffs £100,000 Challenge at the Curragh, a six-furlong contest for which 25 horses have been entered, including a nine-strong entry from Britain.

The Night Shift filly ran a cracking race to finish third at the Royal meeting, three-quarters of a length behind Queen`s Logic and Sophisticat.

She had previously finished second from a bad draw in the Listed Hilary Needler Trophy at Beverley.

Hannon has also entered Sandown maiden runner-up Prince Dayjur.

'Roundtree definitely goes but I don`t know think a decision has been taken on the other horse yet,' said a stable spokeswoman.

Another confirmed runner is the Giles Bravery-trained Addo.

Bravery`s filly was only beaten five lengths behind David Loder`s Latin Lynx on her debut and the Newmarket handler is hopeful of a good show.

'We have every intention of running her there. She ran pretty well first time out and the winner ran an interesting race in the Queen Mary,' said Bravery. 'She`s a game little thing and she won`t be beaten for heart. It is an extra furlong and a half which, with the Curragh being stiff, is a bit of a worry but I`m sure we`ll ride her accordingly.

'Last year there were 11 runners and five or six hadn`t run before - this year looks a bit trappier. But if we`re in the cash at the end then we`ll be happy.'

However, Brian Meehan, who had entered Ascot sixth Doc Holiday, as well as the maiden Great View, confirmed today that his pair would not make the trip across the Irish Sea.
