13:45 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien has hit the ground running with his juveniles this season and though blinkered ahead of her debut, Matrika merits the utmost respect. Back Down Under finished a good third on her introduction at Naas and is likely to take a step forward with that experience under her belt, but preference is for GUNZBURG. The 160,000-pounds daughter of Sioux Nation represents an in-form yard and should have the speed to cope with this trip on her racecourse bow.

The majority of these are appealing on paper. MYSTERIES, who represents the Donnacha O'Brien yard, ticks plenty of the right boxes and the hint should be taken if she's strong in the betting. It could be a 1-2-3 for the O'Brien's, with father Aidan's representative Matrika second choice ahead of Grand Job, trained by brother Joseph. Gunzburg and September Leaves are other likely-looking types to consider, while Back Down Under, the only one of these with experience, also merits respect.

Though MATRIKA unusually has blinkers on for debut, she is a half-sister to a Prix Morny winner and is taken to score.

QUEEN'S PARDON was denied by under a length last time at Navan and she was a long way clear of the third. She has been put up 8lb for that effort, which may not be enough to prevent her from going one place better. The main threat might be Craft Irish, who showed improved form with the application of first-time blinkers on her latest outing. Others to consider are Marsa and Wave Machine.

MARSA's strike rate on the all-weather is more compelling compared to turf, but she is clearly effective on grass (successful at Gowran last summer) and this 4-y-o will have every chance if she's fully tuned-up following a break. Queen Maedbh ultimately proved disappointing on her handicap debut over 7f here at the beginning of the month but she is well worth another chance given her 2-y-o promise. Iva Batt and Little Queenie are others to consider.

Edward Lynam's MARSA(nap) can exploit an anomaly as she runs off a mark 11lb lower than her AW rating and will be suited by good ground

BAY BRIDGE was very impressive when seeing off 2021 Epsom Derby and King George hero Adayar in the Champion Stakes at Ascot, with the previously-unbeaten Baaeed only fourth. Sir Michael Stoute's five-year-old made a perfectly satisfactory reappearance when third in the Prix Ganay and looks the one to beat. Vadeni was a place behind him at Longchamp, but has been supplemented for this and took the Prix du Jockey Club and Eclipse last season before a cracking second in the Arc. Luxembourg had the French raider back in third when triumphant in the Irish Champion Stakes and will step forward from his comeback fifth in the Mooresbridge.

A fascinating clash between classy trio VADENI, Bay Bridge and Luxembourg, and there's very little to choose between them. The vote goes to Vadeni, who landed the Eclipse over this trip last summer and brought the curtain down on a fine 2022 campaign by finishing second in the Arc. The French raider was a place adrift of the re-opposing Bay Bridge on return at Longchamp, but he looked rusty that day and is taken to reverse those placings here. Bay Bridge is second choice ahead of Luxembourg.

Last season's Prix du Jockey Club and Eclipse winner VADENI gets the vote to reverse Irish Champion Stakes form with Luxembourg

Joseph O'Brien launches a three-pronged assault but even though Jumbly is the mount of Ryan Moore, she has a 309-day layoff to overcome and the pick of the trio may be Honey Girl, who stepped up markedly on her maiden success when bounding clear for an impressive Group 3 victory here. However, Willie McCreery has a good record in this contest and narrow preference is for his INSINUENDO. Too keen over 1m2f in the Mooresbridge Stakes, she is better judged on her C&D defeat of Redressed in the Park Express over track and trip in March and her good third in a Group 1 on Champions Day at Ascot last October.

Joseph O'Brien holds a very strong hand here and JUMBLY, who is making her debut for the yard, could be the way to go. The Gleneagles filly has been absent since landing a Group 3 at Ascot last July, but she went close on her reappearance last season and, with just eight runs under her belt, there is probably better to come. Stablemate Honey Girl looked good in the Athasi and is feared most ahead of Insinuendo and Goldana, who is also a stablemate of Jumbly.

Slight preference is for JUMBLY who may be better suited by the ground than stablemates Honey Girl and Goldana

Last season's champion two-year-old filly thanks largely to her impressive Moyglare success, TAHIYRA was a warm order for the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. She looked the likely winner coming into the Dip, but a big mid-race move and possibly the lack of a prep run told and she was fought off by Mawj. She was still a long way clear of the third, though, and can taste Classic glory today. Meditate was runner-up in the Moyglare and only sixth at Newmarket, but she showed her brilliance at the Breeders' Cup and better is expected. It is interesting that her trainer Aidan O'Brien has opted to drop Jackie Oh back down to a mile, while Moyglare third Eternal Silence is another who could get involved at a bigger price.

It's hard to look beyond TAHIYRA, who was so impressive when brushing Meditate aside in the Moyglare here last term and she was well clear of the rest when touched off by Mawj in the English 1000 Guineas on return at Newmarket. This will be just her fourth career start, so it's reasonable to anticipate improvement. Stablemate Tarawa looks promising and she is preferred to the Aidan O'Brien-trained duo Meditate and Jackie Oh.

Providing that TAHIYRA has made the anticipated improvement from her 1,000 Guineas second this should be relatively straightforward

DRUMROLL chased home the talented Paddington in the Tetrarch Stakes over a mile here at the beginning of the month and it would be no surprise to see the son of Deep Impact go one better now upped in trip. Mister Mister was third on that occasion and is another who should relish the extra couple of furlongs here, while Pivotal Trigger and the unexposed Save Your Love are the pick of the remainder.

This step up in trip should spark improvement in DRUMROLL, who kept on well when chasing home potentially smart stablemate Paddington over a mile here at the beginning of the month. He is taken to enhance Aidan O'Brien's teriffic record in this race. Pivotal Trigger found Group 1 company too much on his final 2-y-o start and is strongly respected back at this level, while Mister Mister, who was a place adrift of Drumroll in the Tetrarch, should also make his presence felt.

Though MISTER MISTER was just behind Drumroll in the Tetrarch Stakes here last time, he can reverse the form today.

Most of these have potential to improve now they are faced with a sterner test of stamina and the likes of Star Galaxy, Esquiline and High Chieftess are all in capable hands as they set out on the next phase of their development. However, the one that appeals most on pedigree is EZIVA, whose dam won the Group 2 Blandford Stakes for this yard here in 2018. It's noteworthy that the daughter of Medaglia d'Oro is pitched straight in at this sort of trip and a big run is expected from the Aga Khan-owned filly on debut.

It will look significant if the market speaks in favour of newcomer EZIVA, who looks the part on paper and an entry in the Irish Oaks suggests that she is held in high regard. Star Galaxy shaped with promise on her sole 2-y-o start and again when fourth of 10 in the Leopardstown maiden won by the potentially high-class Savethelastdance last month. She is the clear main danger ahead of Ballydoyle duo All Time Great and High Chieftess.

Her run last time when fourth to Savethelastdance at Leopardstown makes STAR GALAXY the standout on form.

A typically wide-open handicap to round out proceedings on a fantastic weekend of action, and marginal preference is for STAR KISSED. The Sea The Stars filly struck in a maiden at Bellewstown last month and has been allocated an opening mark of 79 which, judged on her pedigree alone, could prove extremely lenient. The Very Man looks well treated based on his NH form and must be seriously considered, along with Newfoundland, for all that he needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Tipperary. Others to note include Mellow Magic, Black Hawk Eagle and Mr Rango.

STAR KISSED appears to have been handed a fair mark for this handicap bow and she gets the nod. Conditions were testing when she opened her account in a Bellewstown maiden on return last month but it was on good ground that this Sea The Stars filly went close on debut at Cork last summer, so the surface here shouldn't be an issue. Newfoundland is entitled to come on for his Tipperary reappearance spin and is feared most. The Very Man, a good second over hurdles last time, also has claims.

With further improvement likely after just three starts, STAR KISSED is taken to win on handicap debut despite a wider than ideal draw

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.
