Magical faces just four rivals as she makes her return to action in tomorrow's Alwasmiyah Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh. Aidan O'Brien's four-times Group One winner was initially retired after her Champion Stakes success last October, after a setback scuppered a planned Breeders' Cup trip. However, the five-year-old was then returned to training in the spring and she will make her reappearance over 10 furlongs, with stablemate Fleeting also in the line up. Jessica Harrington's highly-regarded Cayenne Pepper is thrown in against the older fillies on her three-year-old debut, with Ger Lyons' Roca Roma also hailing from the Classic generation. The five-strong line-up is completed by True Self, who was a Group Three winner in Australia for Willie Mullins and was last seen finishing out of the places in Riyadh in February.
