Kevin Prendergast has confirmed that his Classic-placed Dimenticata will line up in the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday.
The filly finished a good second to Finsceal Beo in the Irish 1000 Guineas, a run which convinced her trainer to step her up to 1m 2f for the Group One race.
"Dimenticata runs in the Pretty Polly." said Prendergast.
"She ran very well to finish second to Finsceal Beo in the Guineas and the one that finished third (Peeping Fawn) finished second in the Oaks, so the form is very good.
"She ran just short of a mile and a quarter in the McCalmont Stakes at Gowran and she was just beaten a short head.
"She is by Danetime so I wouldn't have thought the trip would be a problem for her," he told At The Races.
The contest, due off at 15:45, is the feature race on the Saturday card at the Irish track ahead of Sunday's Irish Derby.
