|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (6) ![]() Aurora Nova |
14/1(-87%) | (6) Aurora Nova 14/1, Slowly away when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 60 at Bellewstown last time; drawn on wing of large field; probably bit to come Recovered from a slow start to win over this trip on seasonal debut, slower ground here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

50/1(-52%) | (9) Platino Bianco 50/1, Raced freely down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; drawn on wing of large field; opposed Fair form in maidens last autumn, handicap form does not inspire any confidence. |

BEANO POWER lost out by a neck at Dundalk just over a fortnight ago. She has form on rain-softened ground and competes off a very handy mark with Sorcha Woods claiming 7lb. Step Back In Time has won twice at this track, including over an extended 5f earlier this month. The handicapper has had his say, although she can still go well. Catherine Chroi is in decent form but tries 5f for just the third time in her career, while Inishmot Prince and Twotolose, in the first-time hood, could get into contention. Mary Shoelaces is more than capable after a good third in a higher grade at the Curragh, but the forecast rain doesn't look ideal for her.
Rated 67 when second in a soft-ground C&D maiden at two, BEANO POWER gets the vote to exploit a current mark of 53 after a good AW run

CHARLES DARWIN is a full-brother to a Middle Park winner and can reap the benefit of a run in the Curragh. He wasn't beaten far into fourth and improvement should be forthcoming. Cut in the ground isn't a negative for progeny of his sire. Joseph O'Brien introduces a pair of colts in Clarity of Thought and Estoublon who hold entries in an early-closing Listed race at Redcar. Both made good money at the sales and have to be respected. Echo Of Faith, Harmani and Ipanema Beach are newcomers worth a market check in what could be an informative maiden.
This can go to Blackbeard's brother CHARLES DARWIN, who can be expected to show the benefit of his introduction at the Curragh

1st (1) ![]() Whistlejacket |
5/4(+9%) | (1) Whistlejacket 5/4, Beaten 2l in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1) over 5f at Del Mar last time; top course trainer; enjoys making it; form of Prix Morny win sets standard; tough to beat Prix Morny winner, second in Phoenix Stakes/Middle Park, handles an ease, can defy penalty. |

5/1(+72%) | (7) Sparkling Sea 5/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in 'Priory Belle' Stakes (Fillies' Group 3) over 7f at Leopardstown most recent; should come on for that; in good form prior; form of Group placed effort franked in Albany; threat Good early-season juvenile last year, low-key reappearance in a 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) ![]() Midnight Strike |
25/1(-39%) | (5) Midnight Strike 25/1, Poorly drawn down the field in Two Year Old Trophy (Listed) at Redcar most recent; highly tried at 2; clear stable second string and best watched back from break Ended the season on a low note at Redcar, has been gelded, stable's second string. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) ![]() Pedro Nunes |
20/1(-67%) | (6) Pedro Nunes 20/1, 1/2l winner in a maiden over 7f at Dundalk on debut beating useful yardstick; stiff track should suit back in trip; outside chance Debut winner over 7f at Dundalk, very tough task against those with top-level experience. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Campaigned aggressively as a juvenile, WHISTLEJACKET raced in Ireland, the UK, France and America, winning three times from eight starts, including the Prix Morny at Deauville. In Group 1 company on his last four outings, he should appreciate this drop in grade. Cowardofthecounty beat the selection on debut at the Curragh around this time last year and since won a Group 3 in France. A disappointing last of nine in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at ParisLongchamp in October, it'll be interesting to see how he fares on his comeback. Ides Of March also claimed a Group 3 as a juvenile and warrants the utmost respect after finishing seventh when last seen at the Breeders' Cup. The hat-trick seeking Bodhi Bear has race fitness on his side and should give a good account of himself.
A 5lb penalty for his Group 1 win in the Prix Morny should be no obstacle to WHISTLEJACKET, who prospered during a busy juvenile season

1st (1) ![]() Kyprios |
1/7(+61%) | (1) Kyprios 1/7, Winner of eight G1s; won British Champions Long Distance Cup (Group 2) at Ascot over 2m by 2 1/4l last time; took this last year on reappearance; can outclass these Champion stayer bids for third win in this race in the last four years; the one to beat. |

2nd (8) ![]() Enfranchise |
9/1(+10%) | (8) Enfranchise 9/1, Looked to want further second beaten 3l in Devoy Stakes (Listed) over 10f at Naas latest; should come on for that; top course jockey; usually held up; up in trip; Listed winner last term; could do with some rain Naas comeback run augurs well; nice weight allowance, could sneak a place. |

40/1(-21%) | (3) Barnso 40/1, Well backed fourth beaten 2l in the Conditions Race over 11f at Dundalk latest; should come on for that; up in trip; off a short-break; needs to improve Progressive last year but faces stiffest task yet here. |

5th (7) ![]() Bay Of Sanibel |
22/1(+12%) | (7) Bay Of Sanibel 22/1, Ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; visor first time; goes well here; bit to find with Poetic Sound on recent meeting Has come up short in stakes company before and again looks up against it here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) ![]() Sonnyboyliston |
40/1(+20%) | (6) Sonnyboyliston 40/1, Probably needed race beaten 7 1/2l in the Amateur Riders Derby over 12f at The Curragh last time; former Irish Leger winner; up in trip; needs to prove ability remains after lay off Former Irish St Leger winner; very lightly raced in recent years, hard to evaluate. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
By far the highest-rated runner in the line-up, this should be straightforward for KYPRIOS. The remarkable stayer has already won this race twice before and was a perfect seven from seven last season, winning four Group 1s in a row before lifting the Long Distance Cup on British Champions Day. A fine second on her debut for Willie McCreery at Naas last month, Enfranchise could prove best of the rest. She kept on well in the closing stages at the Tipper Road venue and should appreciate this longer trip. Although the lowest-rated of the eight, the progressive Leinster is an interesting contender. He comfortably accounted for 17 rivals when making all on his return to action at the Curragh and steps up in class now. Poetic Sound, Dawn Rising and Sonnyboyliston are others capable of making an impact.
Impossible to look beyond the champion stayer KYPRIOS as he bids for a third win in this race

2nd (2) ![]() Catalina Delcarpio |
2/1(+11%) | (2) Catalina Delcarpio 2/1, 4 1/2l winner in a maiden at Leopardstown on debut showing excellent turf of foot; highly regarded; top course jockey; fair claims with improvement likely Impressive recent Leopardstown maiden winner; looks up to this step up in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) ![]() Island Hopping |
18/1(-80%) | (4) Island Hopping 18/1, Yard has won 3 of last 10 runnings of race; beaten 2l in Staffordstown Stud Stakes (Group 3) over 8f at The Curragh last time; that form had knocks; needs to improve Plenty green at two; bred for this sort of trip and more; likely improver. |

4th (6) ![]() Medici Venus |
66/1(-65%) | (6) Medici Venus 66/1, Yard has won 3 of last 10 runnings of race; weak in the market well beaten in a nursery over 8f at Leopardstown latest; up in trip; lot to find and looks stable second string Disappointing in handicap final 2yo start on soft; seemingly plenty to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) ![]() Spicy Margarita |
40/1(-233%) | (7) Spicy Margarita 40/1, Fourth beaten 2 1/4l in Park Express Stakes latest where poorly placed to challenge; closely matched with Ecstatic on that; not out of it Much improved in Group 3 last time; tries 1m2f again but stamina concerns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) ![]() J M's Joy |
33/1(-18%) | (5) J M's Joy 33/1, Ideally suited by trip when winning an auction race at The Curragh by 1 1/2l last time; unexposed at 10f; steadily progressive; lot to find Good attitude for Curragh maiden win over this trip; big jump in class now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) ![]() Ecstatic |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Ecstatic 9/2, Ran to form second beaten 2l in Park Express Stakes latest; steadily progressing; up in trip; more to come for top connections Curragh second looks to be crying out for this trip and more improvement likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) ![]() Tarima |
7/4(+47%) | (8) Tarima 7/4, Yard won this last year with future Oaks winner; 2l winner in a maiden over 8f at Leopardstown on debut; that form yet to be tested; up in trip; may contend Leopardstown maiden winner should relish this longer trip; likely major player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Despite proving fractious in the preliminaries prior to her introduction at Leopardstown, CATALINA DELCARPIO could hardly have been more impressive. A 400,000gns yearling purchase, she readily accounted for six rivals and while in a much deeper contest now, could prove up to the task. The choice of Ryan Moore, Ecstatic looks the best of Aidan O'Brien's three. A fine second on her return to action at the Curragh, she should appreciate this step up to a mile and a quarter. Like the selection, Tarima impressed on debut at Leopardstown and looks the main danger. A half-sister to multiple Group 1 winners Tarnawa and Tahiyra, this Lope De Vega chestnut could very well emulate her siblings in time. Barnavara and Wemightakedlongway are the highest-rated of those with a mark and should step forward after failing to make an impact on their returns at the same Leopardstown fixture last month.
Very interesting, with CATALINA DELCARPIO slightly preferred to fellow recent Leopardstown maiden winner Tarima

Johnny Murtagh holds strong claims with the once-raced REYENZI. Runner-up on his racecourse debut at Naas in September, that form has been franked in the interim. The fourth has won his last two starts and is now rated 93. Given that the Murtagh-trained Dakota Blue beat two of the leading contenders for this in a similar contest here earlier in the month, he should know what is required. Vorfreude, who finished second in that race 18 days ago, should go close. Joseph Murphy's son of Bated Breath had shown promise in two starts as a juvenile last term. Nobler, a place behind in third, should also be very competitive.
A competitive maiden in which recent Curragh third SOUND OF LIGHTNING (nap) gets the vote, ahead of Reyenzi

Off an identical mark to which she won over C&D last July, DOCTOR GRACE catches the eye. A consistent mare on the Polytrack since switching to Ado McGuinness, the five-year-old is equally at home on turf. A hold-up horse who enjoys coming from off the pace, a big-field handicap on this galloping track suits her ideally. Provided she gets the breaks at the right time, the daughter of Buratino can record a fourth career success. The Real Screamer signed off last year with two impressive wins at Dundalk. If the Paul Flynn-trained gelding handles the grass in a similar fashion, he must go close. Abbey Actress is another to consider.
A hopeful each-way vote goes to GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL whose trainer Harry Rogers has his team in good form.

It could pay to take a chance on CLUB MANAGER on his first start for Ross O'Sullivan. A winning hurdler, the five-year-old remains relatively unexposed on the Flat after just four starts on the turf. Although his all-weather record is somewhat patchy, he is almost certainly a better horse with a significant ease in the ground. A thorough stayer who won over two miles, he has had few chances over a real stamina test. As long as the ground doesn't dry out too much, he can be involved. Forlio should appreciate this easier grade having shown up well on his return, and he has run with credit here previously. Wednesday's Gowran runner-up Elle Dorado Rock and recent course scorer The Truant have to be considered closely too.
Wednesday's Gowran second Elle Dorado Rock is narrowly preferred to potential improver Out For A Stroll

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.
