Tapestry, who lowered the colours of King George winner Taghrooda in the Yorkshire Oaks, is in line to drop back to a mile for Saturday's Coolmore Fastnet Rock Matron Stakes at Leopardstown.

Coronation Stakes winner Rizeena is also one of 15 possibles for the Group One, which could feature Fiesolana, French challengers Thawaany and Kenhope and the progressive Balansiya.

Dermot Weld's exciting Free Eagle is still in the mix for the KPMG Enterprise Stakes earlier on the card.

Favourite for this season's Epsom Derby after an impressive debut win last season, he was beaten by Australia on his next start and injury has kept him off the track until now.

Panama Hat and Brendan Brackan could take him on, while Aidan O'Brien has supplemented Hall Of Mirrors.

The John Deere Juvenile Turf Stakes, a race in which Australia beat Free Eagle 12 months ago, is likely to see the return to action of the O'Brien-trained John F Kennedy.

He could be taken on by Agnes Stewart, the unbeaten Bertie Le Belge and Parish Boy.
