Joailliere bids to get her career back on track when reappearing in the Listed Clodovil EBF Garnet Stakes at Naas on Sunday.
Dermot Weld's daughter of Dubawi looked a star in the making when making an impressive winning start at Gowran Park in the spring and was subsequently pitched in at Group One level when lining up in the Irish 1000 Guineas.
Far from disgraced on that occasion, she has been given plenty of time to strengthen up since and remains an exciting prospect.
Another with a bright future is Assume winner of a Killarney maiden on debut, while Irish Cambridgeshire heroine Hint Of A Tint and Tamadhor are more battled hardened than the aforementioned pair and can also be expected to take a hand in proceedings.
Listed honours are again up for grabs later in the afternoon and Almela another from the Weld stable, will be expected to resume her progress in the Es Que Love EBF Bluebell Stakes having just failed to maintain her unbeaten record when losing out to stablemate Zhukova at Galway last month.
Her lack of experience appeared to count against her on that occasion but she should be more streetwise now and have too much class for a limited bunch.
There is another decent prize on offer in The At The Races EBF Birdcatcher Premier Nursery and this drop in class might just do the trick for Lieutenant General below his best in group company last time but boasting some smart form from earlier in the season.
There was very little between Munshid and Al Mohalhal when they finished first and second at Navan while Reckless Endeavour is another who looks capable of winning a decent pot at some stage.
Racing gets underway at 1:50 with the Tifrums EBF (C & G) Maiden and expensive purchase Schubert will be looking to get off the mark at the third time of asking while stablemate Sandro Botticelli takes the eye on his return to action in the concluding Profile Systems Naas October Handicap.
