Fozzy Stack eyes Naas' Athasi Stakes for Diamond Fields


Fozzy Stack is eyeing next month's Canford Cliffs Irish EBF Athasi Stakes at Naas for Diamond Fields.

The four-year-old lowered the colours of Aidan O'Brien's multiple Group One winner Alice Springs in the Gladness Stakes on her first run of the season.

She was without a win last season but ran several good races in defeat, including when twice placed in America.

"I think we'll probably head for the Athasi with her if the ground is good," said Stack. 

"She wouldn't want it much slower than what it was the last day (yielding).

"We'll go there if we can. I know she'll have a penalty and will be taking on younger horses, but it looks the right race.

"It was great to get another win out of her. She'd run some great races last season, even in America, without winning.

"It will have hopefully given her confidence a boost and she quickened up very smartly to win.

"It was a messy race, though."
