Finsceal Beo headed to Coronation

Trainer Jim Bolger has ended speculation as to the next start of dual classic

heroine FINSCEAL BEO (Mr. Greeley), committing the filly to the Coronation S.

(Eng-G1) at Royal Ascot. Michael Ryan's English (Eng-G1) and Irish (Ire-G1) One

Thousand Guineas winner will stay at a mile for the June 22 contest.

"Finsceal Beo is very well since The Curragh," Bolger told the Racing Post.

Bolger also announced that his Poule d'Essai des Poulains (Fr-G1) and Irish

Two Thousand Guineas (Ire-G1) runner-up CREACHADOIR (King's Best) will target

either the June 20 Jersey S. (Eng-G3) or St James's Palace S. (Eng-G1) on the

previous day.

"Creachadoir's work has been very good and we think that he has improved

again from the Irish Two Thousand Guineas," he added. "We have him in the Jersey

as well as the St James's Palace, but we just thought, the way he's going at

home now, he could be in there with a good chance in the St James's Palace."

Also headed to Royal Ascot is Terry Neill's Lockinge S. (Eng-G1) scorer RED

EVIE (Intikhab), who is on course for the Queen Anne S. (Eng-G1). Trainer

Michael Bell reported that the four-year-old, who added the Lockinge to a record

that already included last year's Matron S. (Ire-G1), to be firing ahead of her

June 19 test.

"She's in very good form," Bell told PA Sport. "She looks like being the only

girl to take on the boys, but she did it well last time. If she was to do well

at Ascot, there are races like the (August 1) Sussex S. ([Eng-G1] at Goodwood),

but we will just take it one race at a time. If we decide to keep her to the

fillies' races, there is always the likes of the (July 11) Falmouth S. ([Eng-G1

at Newmarket) and the (September 8) Matron S. (Ire-G1] at Leopardstown) -- there

are plenty of options."
