Michael Hills believes Maids Causeway has improved for her second place in the 1000 Guineas but is not sure whether his mount will be able to reverse placings with Virginia Waters at the Curragh on Sunday.

VIRGINIA WATERS is even-money favourite with sponsors Boylesports to emulate Attraction and complete the English/Irish 1000 Guineas double at the Curragh on Sunday.

Virginia Waters was one of 23 horses to stand their ground today at the final forfeit stage for the Boylesports Irish 1000 Guineas.

Hot favourite Divine Proportions (8-11) maintained her unbeaten record with a stylish success in the Prix Marcel Boussac Royal Barriere Deauville.
