JIM BOLGER has his sights set on the Tattersalls Millions Irish Champion Stakes as the next target for Finsceal Beo - but the going will be key to whether she tackles 1m2f in the Leopardstown showpiece.

Speaking on Monday at the official launch for the Tattersalls Millions-sponsored Group 1 on September 8, Bolger also signalled his intention to keep the dual Classic-winning filly in training next year "if she shows that she is still firing at the end of this season".

Finsceal Beo has not run since finishing eighth in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and missed an attempt at the Champion Stakes distance in the Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday because of soft ground.

Bolger said: "I would have liked to have got a run into her over a mile and a quarter before Leopardstown, but it wasn't to be so she will go straight there if we have good ground.

"If it happens to be soft then we will have to make other plans and there are plenty of options in England and in France.

“We would look at the Champion Stakes at Newmarket and the Prix de l'Opera, while the Sun Chariot Stakes is another race we might consider." The Prix de l'Opera is already pencilled in for after the Irish Champion Stakes and Bolger is confident his star filly will not be troubled by stepping up in trip at Leopardstown.

He said: "She has a very relaxed way of racing and we always felt that a mile would be the minimum trip for her this year."

Looking further ahead, Bolger said: "Her owner Michael Ryan likes to travel and the Dubai Duty Free is worth a lot of money, so it's possible that if she stays in training as a four-year-old she might start off there in March."
