13:45 Curragh Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

USDI ATOHI, a full-sister to 5f Listed winner Asean, appears to have been found a good starting point and this daughter of Ten Sovereigns, who cost 150,000 euros as a yearling, can lay down an early marker for youngsters set to come from the Donnacha O'Brien yard. Cradle Of Love also has an appealing pedigree and, being by Kodiac, can be fancied to cope with the forecast ground conditions. California Dreamer looks the pick of Adrian Murray's pair, although a longer trip is likely to suit before long.

Adrian Murray has already had a first-time-out 2-y-o winner here in the Amo Silks this year so CALIFORNIA DREAMER is the suggestion before any betting clues are known. Cradle of Love and Usdi Atohi are other likely types on breeding.

Adrian Murray and AMO Racing have a good line to early-season juvenile form in Ireland and can strike with CALIFORNIA DREAMER

Those with experience have hardly set the world alight, so it is probably best to concentrate on the newcomers. It is interesting that Coolmore have kept Uncanny on the team as a four-year-old and she warrants obvious respect, but fellow Churchill filly IT'SONLYJUSTBEGUN also represents Coolmore interests and the weight this 120,000gns half-sister to a Listed winner receives sways the vote in her favour. Kailasa is from a good Aga Khan family and looks the pick of Johnny Murtagh's two.

It looks significant that powerful connections have been patient with UNCANNY and she's taken to make a belated winning start. This looks likely to be dominated by newcomers, with It'sonlyjustbegun and Glen Princess heading the dangers before market clues.

A guessing game. Barry Fitzgerald often produces a useful type or two in early-season maidens so MISS MEAGHER is a hopeful selection

14:55 Curragh Group 3 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

CRYPTO FORCE beat none other than Auguste Rodin on his debut back in June 2022 and although he hasn't been seen since winning the Group 2 Beresford Stakes over a mile here in September of that year, his class might see him through for him to make a winning return to action. Maxux impressed when running out a decisive winner of a Group 3 over 1m1f at Fairyhouse in September and she heads the dangers. If White Birch is back to the form which saw him finish third in the Derby at Epsom last summer, then he would be a big player.

Last year's Epsom Derby third WHITE BIRCH won a Group 3 in the mud on his 3-y-o reappearance and can start off his 4-y-o campaign in similar fashion. Maxus and Greenland head the dangers in a competitive Group 3, with all bar one of the runners already successful at pattern level.

Multiple stakes winner LAYFAYETTE won't mind conditions and generally goes well fresh so he is taken to land this for a second time

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Crystal Black relished a return to 1m2f when landing the Northfields Premier Handicap here in September and he warrants respect on his return to action. However, the combination of a 9lb rise in the ratings and this drop in distance may leave Gerard Keane's charge vulnerable, so the race-fit MR RANGO edges the vote. The six-year-old offered plenty of encouragement in third on his stable bow over an inadequate 7f at Naas last month and he looks ready to land a race of this calibre. The progressive Grey Leader also demands a second look now handicapping.

Dual C&D winner SIRJACK THOMAS has been holding his form well in recent weeks could be ready to strike (2 lb below last winning mark) with the return to 1m in his favour. Grey Leader progressed to win 3 of his 5 starts as a 3-y-o so must be respected, while Fast Tara is potentially on a nice mark back in a handicap and starting out for a new yard.

The 8yo CASANOVA (nap) is back to a mark he should be winning off and it was an excellent return effort in the Irish Lincolnshire

ECLIPSE EMERALD outran his odds to finish a highly-encouraging second over C&D in October and he should have learned a great deal from that debut experience. The son of Holy Roman Emperor has plenty of speed in his pedigree and, with normal progression, he could prove hard to beat. Ojw Legacy has finished third on both of her starts to date and she could still have more to offer, so she has to be considered as she takes a drop in trip. Any market confidence behind Judge Me Not on his debut would also be interesting.

FOLLOW ME displayed fairly useful form in a handful of starts in France during the second half of last term and, picked up for €170,000 thereafter, he looks to have been found a good starting point in a maiden lacking depth. Eclipse Emerald showed plenty to work on when second in a C&D maiden on debut in October and he's a lead threat. Panny Poe and newcomer Judge Me Not are others to keep an eye on.

Follow Me sets the standard on his French form but the Stack yard has two strong contenders in ECLIPSE EMERALD and Pansy Poe

EVENING BLOSSOM showed plenty of promise on her debut here over 7f and the form of that maiden has worked out well. A daughter of Australia, stepping up in trip should be no inconvenience to Joseph's O'Brien's Irish Oaks entry and she is narrowly preferred to Lady Doris, who herself was an eyecatcher first time out at Dundalk when staying on late for fourth. Opaque looks the pick of the newcomers for leading connections, while Nativity Square has already run twice this year so should be plenty fit enough.

EVENING BLOSSOM showed plenty on debut and there's the scope for a chunk of improvement, so she gets the nod over newcomer Opaque, who has plenty to recommend her on breeding and represents top connections. Lady Doris is another obvious player.

An Irish Oaks entry heightens interest in EVENING BLOSSOM who ran a thoroughly likeable first race here in October

Stag Night built on his runner-up display here when just getting up in the closing stages to head Two Stars at Cork last week. Both command plenty of respect and the latter may well reverse the form with a 2lb swing, but a chance is taken with TOUGH TALK. Best known for making a winning debut here in April 2022 when getting the better of Little Big Bear and Shartash, things didn't go to plan last season. However, a promising effort after a gelding operation when fourth at Leopardstown in July gave hope he was heading in the right direction and the handicapper has given him an excellent chance to bounce back.

TWO STARS has been going the right way for a while and is fancied to turn the tables from old rival STAG NIGHT following a tight finish at Cork a week ago. Laugh A Minute also arrives on the back of a solid effort and deserves respect.

The evergreen 9yo LAUGH A MINUTE was a luckless third here last month and he looks sure to be seriously involved

Having been narrowly denied by the reopposing Bay Of Sanibel at Navan in October, NEPTUNES STAIRCASE went agonisingly close once again when touched off by the now 97-rated Queenstown over C&D the following month. The pair ought to be closely matched on their switch to handicap company, although Ger Lyons' gelding is proven on heavy ground and can exact his revenge. Carlo Bianconi, runner-up on both of his career starts, should relish a step up in trip, while others to note include Nostringsattached and Narlita.

NOSTRINGSATTACHED likely has more to offer this year and is taken to make a successful return back at the scene of her September success. Dangers include Neptunes Staircase, Carlo Bianconi and St Faz in a good-looking handicap for the grade.

A competitive finale in which the unexposed NEPTUNES STAIRCASE, touched off in a C&D maiden at the back-end of last season, gets the nod

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
