Pleascach makes a quick reappearance in the Group One Sea The Stars Pretty Polly Stakes over a mile and a quarter at the Curragh, Ireland, on Sunday, June 28.

The three-year-old filly, who is trained by Jim Bolger, kept on when second by a length to Curvy, the pair clear, in the 12-furlong Group Two Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 18.

She stayed on gamely for a half-length success in the mile Classic, the Group One Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas, at the Curragh on May 24 and gained a facile win in the 10-furlong Group Three Irish National Stud EBF Blue Wind Stakes at Naas on May 13.

The daughter of Teofilo was runner-up in a Navan Listed race over a mile and a quarter on April 18 and captured a seven-furlong maiden at Leopardstown on her final two-year-old appearance in July, 2014.

Kevin Manning, who has partnered Pleascach on all of her starts, takes the ride again.

Jim Bolger said: "Pleascach is very well and has come out of Ascot in very good form, where we feel that she didn't quite run up to her best."

Pleascach takes on eight fillies and mares, including QIPCO 1,000 Guineas heroine Legatissimo, unbeaten Group Two winner Brooch and French Group One scorer Ribbons.
