Make A Challenge could tackle the Woodlands Stakes at Naas on June 8 before a possible trip to Royal Ascot.

The Listed event is scheduled for the first day of racing in Ireland since the coronavirus shutdown and trainer Denis Hogan believes it could be a good European starting point for his stable star, who was last seen finishing sixth in Doha back in February.
