Curragh homecoming for Newmarket heroine

Homecoming Queen faces seven rivals as she attempts to follow up her surprise victory in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in the Etihad Airways-sponsored Irish equivalent at the Curragh on Sunday.

Aidan O’Brien’s filly set the early pace three weeks ago and could not be caught under Ryan Moore, who will be replaced in the saddle by Joseph O’Brien.

Moore switches to Ballydoyle stablemate After, who was last seen finishing fourth in the French 1000 Guineas.
