Dual group winner Insinuendo (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), who won the G3 Blue Wind S. and G2 Kilboy Estate S. last term, is a possibility for the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at on May 22. The Deegan Racing Syndicate runner was second to Group 1 winner Mother Earth (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) in the G3 Park Express S. at The Curragh on Mar. 26.

Trainer Willie McCreery said, “It was her first run of the season and we were very happy with her. She came out of the race well and we're looking onwards and upwards.

“Ideally you'd have loved someone to have given her a lead the other day. She had to do all her own donkey work and it's hard to beat a genuine Group 1 filly making your own pace.

“The whole idea this year is to try and get her Group 1 placed and see where we are from there.

“I'm not sure where we'll go next–it depends on the ground really. The ground is after changing from soft to very good here in the last couple of weeks, so hopefully we get some Irish weather again.

“If we can get some cut in the ground that would open up more options. The Tattersalls Gold Cup is an option for her if the ground comes right for her, definitely.”
