Snow Fairy Fillies' Stakes news and views Aidan O'Brien sends out four runners in the Snow Fairy Fillies' Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday. His squad is headed by Rain Goddess, who was second in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot, the Pretty Polly at the Curragh and the Irish Oaks, before running in America last time out. That plan failed to come off as she was only eighth in the Beverly D. Stakes at Arlington and should be more at home back in Ireland. O'Brien also saddles Key To My Heart, who was a Listed winner at Naas, Pavlenko and Puppetshow. Willie McCreery's Aurora Butterfly has been busy this season, but her trainer believes she still has plenty to learn having done herself no favours in the Hurry Harriet Stakes last time out. "She just ran a bit free, we left the hood off her last time at Tipperary and she was simply too keen," said McCreery. "It's unusual for a horse like her and the amount of racing she has had but she did herself no favours. "We're putting the hood back on this weekend and hopefully she'll settle better. "Even though she ran well in the (Irish) Oaks, I think she's better at this sort of trip (nine furlongs). She's a tough filly." Joseph O'Brien runs two in Dilmun and Kamili, while Dermot Weld's Making Light, second in the Hurry Harriet, will surely make a bold bid again. Jessica Harrington runs Signe and Beautiful Morning, while John Oxx is represented by Flying Fairies, a Listed winner at Roscommon. There is strong representation from Britain. Karl Burke's Aim To Please, the Roger Varian-trained Dawn Of Hope and Sir Michael Stoute's Intimation all make the trip.
