Stack team confident ahead of Pretty Polly bid

Alive Alive Oh will carry a degree of stable confidence as she puts her Darley Irish Oaks credentials on the line in the Oxigen Environmental Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

Trained by Tommy Stack, the three-year-old has created a strong impression in her two races this season and was set to go off favourite for the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot before connections pulled her out on account of the fast ground.

Stack’s son and assistant, Fozzy, feels Alive Alive Oh has recovered from the exertions of travelling to England and back without a problem.
