Imported mare Alcohol Free (Ire) (No Nay Never is likely to run for her owner, Yulong Investments, in this year's The Everest, assuming she bounces back to form.

The multiple Group 1 winner failed at her only Australian start in the autumn, finishing 10th in the G1 Queen of the Turf S. at Randwick in April. The 6-year-old looks set to resume in the G2 Sheraco S. at Rosehill on Sept. 9.

“At this stage she is going to head towards an Everest campaign,” co-trainer Adrian Bott told Sky Sports Radio. “A positive run in that race and I think we can link into a race like the Premiere S. as a lead up to The Everest.

“So, the timing will work well but that first-up race will be crucial as to whether we stick to a sprinting campaign or look to stretch her out a little bit later in the preparation.”

BBA Ireland's Michael Donohoe purchased Alcohol Free for 5.4 million gns at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale last year.
