Aidan 10-3 For A Group One Double As Remember When Tops The Pretty Polly Betting!

A field of nine will line up for tomorrow’s Audi Pretty Polly Stakes at The Curragh, where Aidan O’Brien’s Oaks third Remember When tops the betting at 2-1 with William Hill.

The lightly-raced filly still remains a maiden but is already drawing comparisons to 2007 winner Peeping Fawn who finished placed in the Epsom Oaks before demolishing her rivals in the Pretty Polly and continuing on to three further Group One victories.

Dermot Weld’s Chinese White – who ranks as the 3-1 second-favourite with Hills – is another looking to secure victory in a her first Group One.

The five-year-old mare, was last seeing finishing third behind Fame and Glory in last month’s Tattersalls Gold Cup.

Other notable contenders include Godolphin’s Flying Cloud (4-1), and Akdarena (9-2) – bidding for a third win in six years for handler Jim Bolger.

Tony Kenny, spokesman for William Hill, commented: ‘’Aidan is holding all the aces in this weekend’s big action with his first Group One challenge spearheaded by Remember When – whose progress is startlingly similar to Peeping Fawn’s three years ago. O’Brien ranks is just 10/3 to repeat his 2007 feat of training the Pretty Polly, and Irish Derby winners.’’
