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

In a race full of unknown quantities, it may be best to side with Aidan O'Brien's DIEGO VELAZQUEZ to make a winning debut. An expensive son of top sire Frankel, he is bred to be above-average and could go on to better things. Stable companion Old Faithful is another to take seriously with his sire Siyouni doing remarkably well of late, though he may have to give way to Masoun, who is bred to handle conditions and could be the surprise package. Surfers Paradise is another newcomer to watch, while Ringside Timing may be the best of those with experience.

Newcomers make the most appeal here before market clues, with 2.4 million yearling DIEGO VELAZQUEZ hard to get away from starting out for Ballydoyle. Stablemate Old Faithful and Surfers Paradise also boast good claims on paper, while Old Faithful is easily the pick of the five with experience.

It would be disappointing if one of the newcomers could not win. The most likely is the 2.4m guineas purchase DIEGO VELAZQUEZ

A case can be made for most of these but none more so than A LILAC ROLLA, who looked to have a very bright future when winning on debut at Cork recently. The daughter of Harry Angel is entitled to improve for that experience and she could provide her yard with back-to-back wins in this contest. Opera Singer may prove to be the main threat following her Leopardstown win, although Serious Notions and Profit Refused cannot be discounted. Grateful and Red Viburnum are arguably the most eye-catching of the newcomers.

A LILAC ROLLA was never stronger than at the finish when making a successful debut at Cork (6f) 2 weeks ago and, with this longer trip expected to suit, she's fancied to make a bold bid to make it 2-2- for the stable that landed this race 12 months ago. Serious Notions and Opera Singer are others to consider, with newcomers Red Viburnum and Grateful others worthy of market attention for clues.

One that created a lovely impression on debut at Cork was A LILAC ROLLA who looks a very nice prospect and is likely to improve

14:50 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

Mr Saturday has shown plenty of ability on both starts so far, including behind Unquestionable here last time and the winner has boosted the form by going very close in the Group 2 Railway Stakes since. However, the Ger Lyons-trained gelding may have to play second fiddle to an Aidan O'Brien inmate again, this time to CHERRY BLOSSOM. The 360,000-euro filly went into notebooks aplenty when a close-up fourth in a 5f Listed contest at Naas on debut and she can make the most of the weight she gets from the boys. Chandigah would be a big player if recapturing the form of his one-length third over this C&D at the end of June.

CHERRY BLOSSOM is clearly held in high regard having been sent off favourite when fourth in a listed event at Naas on debut last month and looks the one to beat down in class. Chicago Fireball was flying too high in a Group 3 at Leopardstown but he's more than capable of winning one of these, while Mr Saturday is another to consider having shown plenty when runner-up in maidens at Naas and this C&D.

Little went right for CHERRY BLOSSOM on debut in a Naas Listed last month and she has more scope for improvement

COMMANCHE FALLS is having a very good season and he arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins over C&D and Newbury respectively. Michael Dods' charge showed a very willing attitude to get up on the line last time and this field doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Go Athletico is feared most after bumping into Art Power over 5f at this venue on his previous outing and this extra yardage could unlock some more improvement, while Shartash and Thunderbear should also be taken seriously.

COMMANCHE FALLS is having another terrific season, making the breakthrough at pattern level in the Hackwood at Newbury last month, and is taken to defy a penalty and complete the hat-trick. Go Athletico and Moss Tucker were both placed in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes here 3 weeks ago and rate the main threats back down in grade.

Commanche Falls may not be able to confirm recent Newbury form with SHARTASH over this stiffer track

A competitive heat in which marginal preference is for KINGS TIME. Jessica Harrington's three-year-old improved to make a winning handicap debut at Leopardstown last month and he does not look overburdened by a 6lb rise in the ratings, with further improvement on the cards. Carracci is similarly unexposed and appears likely to play a part in the finish having been narrowly denied on his latest outing, while others to note include Verhoyen, Giuseppe Cassioli and Pierre Lapin.

CARRACCI ran right up to his best when finding only one too good for the second start in a row at Leopardstown (9f) 16 days ago and with this drop back in trip holding no fears, he earns the vote to come out on top again partnered by Ryan Moore. Kings Time, a good winner on handicap debut last month, rates the lead threat, with Giuseppe Cassioli and Free Solo others to consider.

Likely a strong pace which should suit recent Leopardstown winner KINGS TIME (nap)

Bucanero Fuerte returned to winning ways in the Railway Stakes over C&D, having finished third in the Coventry to River Tiber, with Givemethebeatboys one place behind in fourth. The pair are both likely to enter calculations once again, but UNQUESTIONABLE, who was runner-up to Adrian Murray's colt here last time, gets the vote. The son of Wootton Bassett has the scope to improve further and can add to his trainer's excellent record in this contest, as he bids for an unprecedented 18th success. Albany heroine Porta Fortuna completes the shortlist.

There wasn't much between BUCANERO FUERTE and Unquestionable in the Railway Stakes over this C&D last month, and it should be close between them once again. Bucanero Fuerte displayed a willing attitude that day and, with further progress on the cards, he may again have the edge on Aidan O'Brien's charge. Porta Fortuna is 3-3 following her success in the Albany at Royal Ascot and, also open to further improvement, she is likely to give the aforementioned colts plenty to think about.

The selection is the progressive PORTA FORTUNATA, quite a decisive winner of the Albany Stakes last time with more improvement possible

A case can be made for a handful of these as the likes of Collective Power, Heavenly Power and the ultra-tough mare Cnodian all have the ability to go well. However, marginal preference is for DESERT HAVEN, who has run with credit on several previous visits to the Curragh and dropping back to 6f could unlock further improvement from this relatively unexposed three-year-old. Winemaker is another from that age bracket who warrants a second look now that he is tried in blinkers.

SECRET MAGICIAN failed to fire at Galway last time but he appeared to be working his way back to form when sixth of 15 in a stronger handicap than this over C&D on his penultimate start. The 4-y-o has dipped to a career-low mark and is worth chancing in this wide-open contest. Collective Power went close at Naas recently and he is next on the list, though Shoebox King and Ice Cold In Alex also merit respect.

After an unlucky run in the Scurry Handicap last month HEAVENLY POWER can gain some level of compensation here

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

CURRAHEEN PRINCESS did finish behind a few of these at Cork last time, most notably Gabriella's Spirit (winner) and Little Queenie (second), but she is an eight-time winner on turf, all over the minimum trip, and her figures of 2-4 at this venue suggest she could well be up to reversing that form back at a track which clearly brings out the best in her. Silmaniya has performed better than her finishing positions suggest this year and is noted along with Dun Na Sead, who has won two of her last three starts, and Jon Riggens.

JON RIGGENS was unlucky behind a couple of these at Cork recently and, granted better luck this time, the 5-y-o can gain compensation. A winner on this card last year, Gordon Bennett has edged back to a good mark and he has to be taken seriously, while Prisoner's Dilemma could be a threat back down in trip if they go hard up front. Gabriella's Spirit and Little Queenie were the two that finished in front of the selection at Cork and both should be on the premises once again.

This stiffer 5f should suit JON RIGGENS who looked a bit unlucky at Cork behind Gabriella's Spirit

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.

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.
