Aidan O'Brien to unleash sister to Group 1 winner Maybe at Navan

Aidan O'Brien will take the wraps off yet another of the most beautifully bred two-year-olds in training at Navan on Saturday.

Madonna is set to take on ten rivals in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden over a mile at the County Meath track at 3.25pm.

The daughter of supreme sire Galileo, who is also represented by the twice-raced April Showers, is a sister to two black type winners including the Group 1-winning Maybe who struck in the 2011 Moyglare Stud Stakes.

Madonna is the tenth foal out of Sumora, having produced Promise To Be True who struck in the Group 3 Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown. Maybe won the Listed Chesham Stakes and Group 2 Debutante Stakes before rounding off her unbeaten juvenile season with success in the Moyglare. Her most acclaimed offspring is the 2,000 Guineas winner Saxon Warrior.

Sumora has been regularly mated with Galileo, also producing the Group-placed Barbados and the winning Fluff to him.

The Ballydoyle-trained filly is not the only regally bred juvenile lining up, with the Donnacha O'Brien-trained April Showers taking her chance.

April Showers is a full-sister to the top-class Misty For Me and Ballydoyle, the latter winning the Prix Marcel Boussac at two and taking the runner-up spot behind Minding in the 1,000 Guineas the following year.
