Ryan Moore has sided with True Love (No Nay Never) of the high-profile Ballydoyle pair at the head of the market for Sunday's G1 Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas at The Curragh.
After a dozen were declared, Newmarket's 1,000 Guineas heroine who is drawn in one was the selection of Coolmore's number one rider with Wayne Lordan on the Fillies' Mile and Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Precise (Starspangledbanner). Seventh three weeks ago, she will exit from stall seven.
Godolphin's Abashiri (Frankel), who was fifth at Newmarket, was confirmed by Charlie Appleby with William Buick back after suspension. She is drawn next to True Love in two.
Havana Grey has an impressive representation of three, with the Jack Channon-trained G3 Fred Darling Stakes winner Sukanya the mount of Tom Marquand, the Richard Hughes-trained G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes runner-up America Queen partnered by Billy Loughnane and the Paddy Twomey-trained G3 Athasi Stakes runner-up Black Caviar Gold reunited with Billy Lee.
Donnacha O'Brien saddles the Athasi winner Kensington Lane (Starspangledbanner), while Beautify (Wootton Bassett), Hope Queen (Night Of Thunder), Magny Cours (Awtaad), Pivotal Attack (Pinatubo) and Sinmara (Kingman) complete the line-up.
Ballydoyle's A-lister Minnie Hauk (Frankel) faces seven in the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup including Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's pair Almaqam (Lope De Vega) and Saddadd (Pinatubo). Ballydoyle's exciting juvenile Great Barrier Reef (No Nay Never) heads a field of eight for the G3 Kilkea Castle Marble Hill Stakes.
