Kevin Prendergast is hopeful Got To Dream can make a winning return to action in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Leopardstown this afternoon.

The daughter of Duke Of Marmalade was a hot favourite to win on her racecourse debut at Limerick last June and although she came up short, she shaped with plenty of promise in finishing third.

She steps up from seven furlongs to a mile and a quarter for her three-year-old debut and her trainer is confident of a bold show.

Prendergast said: "She's in good form and hopefully she has a good each-way chance - she should be there or thereabouts. She was favourite in Limerick last year and ran a nice race, but she was a bit slowly away and missed the break. I hope she's a bit more professional now and she should run well."

Got To Dream features in a 12-runner field, with John Oxx's She's Mine another interesting contender having finished third on her course debut. Aidan O'Brien saddles two newcomers in Meandering and Ruby Tuesday while Dermot Weld is represented by unraced Sinndar filly Kaleefa
