Wendla's next port of call is the Matron Stakes

Wendla, trained by Ger Lyons, will be running in the Group 3 Brownstown Stakes at Leopardstown on Thursday. Despite winning over a mile earlier, including at the Foxrock track in her last race, the filly struggled to complete the 10-furlong race at the Curragh recently.

With a return to 7f on Thursday, Assistant trainer Shane Lyons explained, "She just didn't stay (1m2f Group 3 Al Basti Equiworld International Stakes) at the Curragh, she has a lot of speed.”

He added, "We wanted to tick that box and that's fine, and he (Colin Keane) looked after her, and she'll go for the Brownstown all being well - back to 7f and around bends. She is made for it.”

Shane also mentioned, "100 per cent the long-term aim is the Matron Stakes (at Leopardstown in September)."
