IRISH SCENE

JOSEPH O’BRIEN is eyeing another stakes race success with Lady Penelope following her triumph in last weekend’s Polonia Stakes.

The daughter of Night Of Thunder could step up to Group 3 level for the Lacken Stakes at Naas next Saturday.

A STEP up to stakes level could be on the cards for the high class bumper mare Bigbadandbeautiful who made a winning start on the flat at Roscommon on Monday. Gordon Elliott has indicated that his charge may now tackle a Listed race at Gowran towards the end of next month.
