Sir Mark Prescott is hoping to have last season's Dubai Champion Stakes winner Alborada, ready for a repeat tilt at the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday week.

Prescott said yesterday: "I am concerned that the race might come too soon, but at the moment she is an intended runner."

"If she doesn't go to the Curragh, she may wait for the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown a week later," he added

After winning the Pretty Polly Stakes on her reappearance last year, Alborada went on to finish second to Swain in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown before her victory at Newmarket.
