Angels Story, a half-sister to St Leger winner Sixties Icon, could develop into an Irish Oaks contender.
Trainer Jim Bolger is aiming the daughter of Galileo at one of the Classic trials.
He said: "She could run in the Blue Wind Stakes at Naas or the Musidora Stakes at York. She could be an Oaks contender."
Angels Story has run twice this year, winning a 10-furlong maiden at The Curragh last month.
Saoirse Abu is a definite runner in the Stan James 1,000 Guineas and could be joined by Lush Lashes.
Winner of the Group One Phoenix Stakes at The Curragh in August, Saoirse Abu could only finish third to Caribbean Sunset in the Leopardstown 1,000 Trial last month, a race run on ground that was softer than ideal.
Bolger added: "Saoirse Abu got a bit worked up behind the stalls that day but hopefully that has gone out of her system."
Finsceal Beo, who won the English and French 1,000 Guineas last year for Bolger, is being aimed at the Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh.
The filly finished fifth to Jay Peg in the Dubai Duty Free at Nad Al Sheba in March.
Bolger said the filly would then head to Royal Ascot where the Queen Anne Stakes is an option.
