THE Juddmonte Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on the Friday attracted only five runners but provided an intriguing clash of the generations, as usual. The race went to a three-year-old, if not the one the market anticipated.

Iridessa stepped up on her form at seven to eight furlongs to beat Magic Wand readily, with the Oaks runner-up Pink Dogwood only third. While the race was a little tactical, sectionals suggest the right filly won. Iridessa’s 111 timefigure gets nudged up to 115 on the back of a 35.5s (106.8%) closing sectional, with Magic Wand weighing in at 110/111 and Pink Dogwood at 105/107.
