Wide-margin winner of the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, Homecoming Queen (pictured) will face seven rivals in the Etihad Airways Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh on Sunday.
Joseph O'Brien will ride the Aidan O’Brien-trained filly, who will face opposition from Kevin Prendergast's La Collina, Yellow Rosebud (trained by Dermot Weld) and the sole British-trained challenger, Samitar.
Paddy Power make Homecoming Queen their 4/5 favourite to complete the Guineas double.
Multiple Group 1 winner So You Think looks to have an easy task in Sunday's Tattersalls Gold Cup where Famous Name and Bible Belt are other notable entries.
Elsewhere on the card, the David Wachman-trained Tannery will attempt to land this third race of the season in the Airlie Stud Gallinule Stakes with Speaking of Which, Crius and Frontier among the opposition in the Group 3 contest.
