Donald McCain has high hopes Ile De Re can follow up his Chester Cup victory in the John Smith's Northumberland Plate at Newcastle.
The six-year-old led home a notable one-two for the Cheshire trainer when foiling Overturn's attempt to land back-to-back victories on the Roodee last month, and he will now bid to emulate his versatile stablemate, who won the two-mile 'Pitmen's Derby' in 2010.

Epsom heroine back at the Curragh.

Seamie Heffernan is thrilled to have kept the ride on Aidan O'Brien's Investec Oaks heroine Was as she takes on her elders for the first time in Sunday's Barclays Bank Ireland Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh.
The daughter of Galileo was a surprise 20-1 winner of the mile-and-a-half Epsom Classic earlier this month under Heffernan, with her better-fancied stablemate Maybe beaten into fifth.
The pair do battle again over 10 furlongs this weekend and the trainer's son, Joseph, will once again partner Maybe, leaving the way clear for Heffernan to get back on Was.
