13:45 Curragh Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ACAPULCO BAY has an excellent pedigree, ran a very promising race on debut over 7f here and has a host of big-race entries in the coming months. He was second to a once-raced stablemate on debut and while it took him a little while to initially quicken, he finished strongly and today's step up to a mile should suit. Genealogy was a 400,000gns yearling and is out of a Group-placed dam who is related to 1,000 Guineas winner Finsceal Beo, but jockey bookings suggest he is the second string of the selection's trainer. Of those with form, Emit showed promise at Leopardstown on debut but looks vulnerable to smart types, while Nakatomi was well beaten by an impressive winner at Dundalk recently.

ACAPULCO BAY was a big eyecatcher on debut here 3 weeks ago and could be hard to beat with improvement on the cards up in trip. This is usually a good maiden and one dominated by Aidan O'Brien, so stablemate Genealogy is an obvious contender. Brandon Creek is another newcomer to note.

It is hard to oppose ACAPULCO BAY after a deeply promising debut here earlier in the month with the mile sure to suit

14:20 Curragh Group 3 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DREAMY takes a big step up from maiden company and meets more experienced rivals but showed smart ability on debut. Out of a Group 1 winner and a direct descendent from champion racemare Miesque, the selection overcame a wide draw to win over 7f on her debut and while that Goodwood form has yet to be properly tested, it is a traditionally strong race. Stablemate Garden Of Eden has a tougher task than when winning at Naas but remains of interest. Fiery Lucy finished second in the recent Ballyhane Stakes but takes a big step up in distance, while Lady O won easily at Galway but has more on her plate now.

DREAMY has the potential for considerable improvement on the back of her Glorious Goodwood debut success and can take the step up in class in her stride. Sir Mark Prescott's Alla Stella shaped well in a Sandown listed race last time and is second choice ahead of Fiery Lucy.

She has to prove her effectiveness on better ground but LADY O looked a smart filly in first-time cheekpieces at Galway

14:50 Curragh Group 3 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RUDI'S APPLE has shown consistently smart form and drops down from Group 1 company. He ran well at Royal Ascot, was beaten by a subsequent Group winner in a July maiden at Fairyhouse and while outclassed in the Phoenix Stakes, that form is strong with the runner-up subsequently winning the Prix Morny. He is vulnerable to high-class types but is dependable. Ides Of March has also shown smart form and while a beaten favourite here in July, The Lion In Winter (winner) has significantly boosted that form subsequently. He showed plenty pace when scoring over this C&D three weeks ago but he steps up in grade here. When things go his way, Morning Vietnam is smart but he steps up in class and trip after winning at Cork.

IDES OF MARCH continued his progress when readily off the mark in a C&D maiden last time and he's well fancied to take this step up in grade in his stride. Rudi's Apple and Morning Vietnam are closely matched with the selection on form and could be the dangers.

The impression made by IDES OF MARCH dropped back to this trip here last time confirmed that he can compete at this level at least

It isn't ideal that HANALIA drops in distance but she met in-running trouble in the Irish Oaks last month and steps back in grade. She defeated a now 102-rated filly when landing her maiden before following up in Listed company in June and ran a fine race in the Oaks here, with that form boosted by the runner-up subsequently winning the Yorkshire Oaks. Also rated 104, Tarawa is ideally suited by conditions and this Listed winner looks sure to run well. Wingspan defeated a subsequent scorer when landing a Gowran Listed race but this is slightly stronger.

The one who appeals most is HANALIA, who performed with plenty of credit upped to 1½m in the Irish Oaks here last month and she may well have more to offer now dropping back in class and trip. The unexposed and very well-bred Wingspan should also have better days ahead and she rates the main danger on the back of her recent listed success at Gowran. Uluru, who went close in a French Group 3 last time, and Tarawa are others to consider.

With some lofty Group 1 entries upcoming, Ballydoyle's WINGSPAN should take all the beating after her gutsy Listed victory at Gowran

16:00 Curragh Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Top-weight GIRL LIKE YOU should be able to follow up her recent win at this track. Although only getting up late to go in by half a length on that occasion, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly looked to have a bit in hand. Stepping up an additional furlong now should also enable her to improve sufficiently to overcome an 8lb rise. Nyman, who finished fifth in that aforementioned contest, is entitled to get much closer at the revised weights. The Earthlight colt had run well over 7f on his previous start, so is another who should appreciate the longer trip. Sweet Chariot has to be respected off a mark of 74, with blinkers fitted for the first time. Headgear can often bring about significant improvement in some of the stable lesser lights.

Course winner GIRL LIKE YOU rates the pick of the weights and with this longer trip also a positive she looks the way to go. Aidan O'Brien's handicap debutante Sweet Chariot rates the main danger, with recent Killarney scorer Sunriseontheboyne also in the mix.

A wide-open contest with pros and cons for the majority of the field, but it's probably worth taking a chance on KING THISTLE

Having potentially had a number of options in this race, it is surely significant that Colin Keane has remained loyal to STATE ACTOR. The Bill Farrell-trained gelding won his maiden over C&D in May, before following up on his handicap debut a month later. Somewhat unlucky in running when only fourth here on his latest start, the four-year-old remains open to further improvement. Blues Emperor is 5lb lower than when just touched off in this race last year. With Wesley Joyce once again in the saddle, the Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding has leading claims of going one better. No More Porter, who seldom runs a bad race at this track, is another with a live chance from the foot of the weights.

This has likely been the target for BLUES EMPEROR, who went close in this last year off 5 lb higher under this rider. Sea Eagle is potentially still on a good mark under a penalty after his easy success at Roscommon, while Vera's Secret is a must for the shortlist after her impressive handicap debut win over this C&D 6 weeks ago.

The selection is VERA'S SECRET(nap), so impressive on her handicap debut here last month and could easily be good enough

17:10 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Stepping back up to 6f could help the Paul Flynn-trained RAPPELL regain the winning thread. Twice successful over this distance, the three-year-old stayed on strongly close home last time when third over 5f at Cork. With more of an emphasis on stamina now, the Soldier's Call gelding should be in his element. Well drawn close to the favoured stands rail, he has much to recommend him. Just touched off over C&D recently, Secret Magician holds every chance of going one better. Wayne Hassett, who is leading the apprentice title race, is a definite plus in a race of this nature. Goldmoyne, who made most when winning over 7f here last time, shouldn't be too inconvenienced by dropping back a furlong. He, too, has to be a leading contender in an open affair.

Plenty to consider with SECRET MAGICIAN taken to continue the good work with the return to 7f likely to be in his favour. Never Cry Never may progress further for his new yard so is a threat, along with Dynamic Force.

Preference is for RAPPELL, in fine form this season and will appreciate coming back up to 6f after a good run over 5f at Cork

Off a mark that puts him 10lb clear on official ratings, PHOENIX COWBOY should prove hard to beat in this finale. A smart handicapper on the Flat for Ger Lyons, the seven-year-old has run well over hurdles since joining current connections. While he would ideally prefer more of a stamina test, the son of Gleneagles might just get away with it if they go a decent gallop. The Gordon Elliott-trained By Your Side would be a very appropriate winner for his young pilot. Successful over this trip at Tramore last time, the gelding is sure to have been lined up for this particular race. Winning hurdler Icare Desbois has yet to race on the Flat but, representing the Willie Mullins yard, he has to be a live hope.

It looks a good opportunity for recent Tramore winner BY YOUR SIDE to return to emotional scenes in the hands of Paddy Smullen

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.
