Silver Flash Stakes preview Aidan and Joseph O'Brien both field once-raced maiden winners in the Jockey Club Of Turkey Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown on Thursday. Aidan O'Brien has saddled a record eight previous winners of the Group Three contest and relies on Tipperary scorer Promise To Be True in this year's renewal. His son Joseph, who was aboard Maybe in 2011 and Wonderfully in 2013, runs Intricately, who made an impressive start to her career at Gowran Park and will be ridden by the fledgling trainer's brother Donnacha O'Brien. Jessica Harrington is represented by Naas victor Drumfad Bay, while the filly with arguably the strongest form in the book is Ken Condon's Elusive Beauty. The daughter of Elusive Pimpernel has raised her game with each start, winning at the third attempt at Fairyhouse before finishing a close third behind O'Brien's subsequent Duchess of Cambridge Stakes winner Roly Poly in the Grangecon Stud Stakes at the Curragh. "The filly looks great and has exceeded our expectations, to be honest," said Condon. "She looks progressive, ran really well at the Curragh last time and should appreciate the step up to seven furlongs. "She's a nice filly, but I just want to see how the ground is. It can get quite quick at Leopardstown, so she wouldn't be a definite runner. "If the ground is safe she'll take her chance and we'll see what happens." The Ger Lyons-trained Brooklyn's Rose, Jim Bolger's Oh Grace and Take A Deep Breath from Michael O'Callaghan's stable complete the field.
