Oaks sensation Forever Together set to take on elders in Pretty Polly

Aidan O'Brien's Classic winner will chase more Group 1 glory at the Curragh this weekend

FOREVER TOGETHERwho slammed her rivals in exhilarating fashion in the Investec Oaks, is set to make her reappearance at the Curragh on Sunday.

The ultra-talented three-year-old will take on her elders for the first time in the Group 1 Juddmonte Pretty Polly Stakes.

She may not have been her trainer's first string, but Forever Together proved she was much the best when bolting up in the Investec Oaks at Epsom earlier this month.

Finishing four and a half lengths of her nearest pursuer, Wild Illusion, she drew well clear of the rest of the field once she found a clear run, bounding away for an impressive success.

The daughter of Galileo had previously finished second behind her stablemate Magic Wand in the Cheshire Oaks, but reversed that form comprehensively in the mile and a half Classic.

Now that she's demonstrated just how good she really is, trainer Aidan O'Brien is looking to add the Pretty Polly stakes to an already glittering CV.

He said: "We are thinking of running Forever Together and Bye Bye Baby in the Pretty Polly."

Other notable contenders in the top-tier contest could be John Gosden's Coronet, who won in great style in the Middleton Stakes at York, and Turret Rocks, who got the better of a decent field in a Listed race at Gowran Park last time out.
