Race Horse Form Odds Rating Weight Age Jockey Trainer Comments
13:50 Curragh 1st (1) My Mate Alfie
3Colin KeaneG M LyonsHas sustained a high level of form this season, winning the Listed Dash here in June and a close third in the Group 3 Phoenix Stakes last time; did not get much luck in running in the Scurry on his previous start; will be bang there if running to his best and getting some luck in running.
13:50 Curragh (2) Saint Lawrence
6Hollie DoyleArchie WatsonHas not won since last year's Wokingham at Royal Ascot; has fallen short in stakes company and in big handicap company this season but remains capable.
13:50 Curragh (3) Shandy
3Darragh O'SullivanJ A StackCame back to form when coming home strongly to land the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes at Naas last month; needs plenty of rain to be a factor here.
13:50 Curragh 3rd (4) Tango Flare
5Seamie HeffernanPatrick T FoleyThree-time winner, most recently in a 6f conditions race at Fairyhouse in June; good third to My Mate Alfie in the Dash here but well beaten twice since; first-time headgear combination tried here but others preferred.
13:50 Curragh (5) The Highway Rat
6W J LeeA OliverSix career wins and a better horse on polytrack; 4lb lower than when a close fifth in this race last year; off since May but comes into it at his best.
13:50 Curragh 2nd (6) Torivega
4David EganMs Sheila LaveryJust a Cork maiden win last year to his tally, but has performed with credit in good handicaps this season; no luck in running behind Heavenly Power here last month; strong traveller and will appreciate coming off a strong pace here; should go close.
13:50 Curragh (7) Follow Me
3Shane FoleyRoss O'SullivanWon a 6f maiden on testing ground here then followed up off 93 over 7f on better ground; hat-trick bid scuppered at Royal Ascot and not seen since; back over 6f here and could well figure.
13:50 Curragh (8) Strike Red
6Billy GarrittyRichard FaheyLanded the Scurry here last year off a 1lb higher mark; came back to form when collared on the line in a big sprint handicap at York last month; big player here.
13:50 Curragh 6th (9) Kendall Roy
3Chris HayesMiss Kate McGivernHas gone from 65 to 93 after winning four times this season, including a premier handicap here in June; has to bounce back from a sub-standard showing at Goodwood last month; respected though.
13:50 Curragh (10) Heavenly Power
6Wayne LordanEdward LynamConsistent performer, including in big handicaps, and returned to winning ways when edging out Apache Outlaw in a C&D handicap last month; up 4lb and should not be far away.
13:50 Curragh 5th (11) Over The Blues
3Oisin MurphyPatrick T FoleyLightly-raced filly landed a 6f maiden at Naas in June; didn't quite get home in the Ballyogan behind Shandy last time; still unexposed but others preferred.
13:50 Curragh (12) Apricot Ice
3Gary CarrollG M LyonsUp 10lb for winning a maiden and a handicap here in May and June; exposed in stakes company twice since; tongue-tie tried but the stable second string and others more likely.
13:50 Curragh (13) Arnhem
8Leigh RocheM G QuinnComing down the handicap but out of form, most recently when mid-division in a Navan handicap last week; hard to fancy at present.
13:50 Curragh (14) Laugh A Minute
9Dylan Browne McMonagleJack W DavisonEight-time winner started the season winning a Naas handicap off 94 for Ado McGuinness; out of form of late and has dropped 10lb; needs it softer too; others preferred.
13:50 Curragh (15) Sturlasson
3Gavin RyanKieran P CotterSole victory came in a Navan maiden in May; went very close in a valuable sprint at Epsom two weeks later but has struggled in better company since; needs to step up to have a chance here.
13:50 Curragh (16) Summerghand
10Ronan WhelanDavid O'Meara17 career wins but has failed to score this season in a heavy schedule; still performs with credit in big sprint handicaps and has an each-way chance.
13:50 Curragh (17) Greek Flower
5Jamie PowellJohn James FeaneWon back-to-back last term including a 6f course win on heavy and has hit the crossbar in each of her three starts this season; second in the Rockingham and up 2lb for her second in the Scurry last time; big chance on current form.
13:50 Curragh (18) Apache Outlaw
4Adam CaffreyAdrian McGuinnessWon off a 4lb higher mark at Dundalk in March; back to form when touched off by Heavenly Power here last month; 2lb higher now; not dismissed.
13:50 Curragh (19) Gunzburg
3Robert WheartyGavin CromwellWon a 5f maiden last year for Paddy Twomey; without success since including five starts for her current handler; others preferred.
13:50 Curragh (20) Bold Optimist
4Wayne HassettDaniel McLoughlinGot up close home to win a 5f handicap here last month; never a factor after a tardy start in a valuable handicap at York last month; tough task here but could go well.
13:50 Curragh (21) Jon Riggens
6James RyanEdward LynamThree-time winner; has to be delivered late and can be frustrating, runner-up on five occasions; not beaten far in fourth behind stablemate Heavenly Power here last month.
13:50 Curragh 4th (22) Keke
4Nathan CrosseEdward LynamHighly progressive in winning his last three starts; the winning margins have been narrow and an aggregate 14lb rise leaves him still on a reasonable mark, even if he is 1lb wrong here.
13:50 Curragh (23) No More Porter
6Rory ClearyAdrian McGuinnessHas gone close in some big handicaps since his last win for John Feane almost three years ago; does not tackle this trip too often nowadays but was runner-up in this two years ago and was fourth in the Scurry last year; respected.
13:50 Curragh (25) Universally
5N G McCullaghE J O'NeillTwo wins this season; up 9lb for winning a Naas handicap in July made life tougher; 4lb lower here but still 5lb wrong and faces an uphill task.
13:50 Curragh (26) Moltophino
3Keithen KennedyJohn Andrew Kinsella9-race maiden; unlucky not to win this season; okay run in a 6f handicap at Cork on Wednesday but will struggle here from 9lb out of the handicap.
14:25 Curragh (1) American Sonja
4Dylan Browne McMonagleJoseph Patrick O'BrienConsistent performer has stepped up in class this season, putting up a career best when touched off in a Group 1 at Deauville last month; possibly the best of the O'Brien quartet and has a leading chance.
14:25 Curragh (2) Goldana
5Mikey SheehyJoseph Patrick O'BrienWon a Leopardstown Listed on heavy in April; stepped up on that when second in a Group 2 over 1m here in May; more needed here.
14:25 Curragh (3) Lumiere Rock
4Declan McDonoghJoseph Patrick O'BrienRewarded for consistency when running out a convincing winner of this race last year; has not been able to make the step up to Group 1 class this year; others preferred.
14:25 Curragh (4) Rogue Millennium
5William BuickJoseph Patrick O'BrienGroup 2 winner for Tom Clover last season and probably her best effort was when second in the Matron Stakes; not quite at her best this season, but was a decent third in the Falmouth at Newmarket and when third in a 1m Deauville Group 1; respected.
14:25 Curragh (5) Bellezza
3Colin KeaneG M LyonsWon her only start at 2; creditable efforts in stakes company this year at up to 1m5f; blinkers tried but has a bit to find.
14:25 Curragh 4th (6) Caught U Looking
3Oisin MurphyNoel MeadeFailed to stay in both the Epsom and Curragh Oaks; travelled well but failed to pick up adequately when third in the Royal Whip over C&D last month; has a bold showing at the highest level in her and could be a factor here; tried in cheekpieces.
14:25 Curragh (7) Elizabeth Jane
3Chris HayesD K WeldProbably needed the run behind Hanalia in the Naas Oaks Trial; stepped up on that when a staying fourth in the Irish Oaks; seems to be coming to the boil nicely and could be a factor here.
14:25 Curragh 1st (8) Hanalia
3Shane FoleyJ P MurtaghBeat Bellezza in the Naas Oaks Trial (Elizabeth Jane fourth); debatable how well she stayed in the Irish Oaks and stayed on well when runner-up in a 1m1f Listed here two weeks ago; this trip might prove her optimum and she could have a significant part to play.
14:25 Curragh 3rd (9) Purple Lily
3W J LeeP TwomeyStarted off the season well, especially when putting it up to subsequent Oaks winner Ezeliya in the Salsabil Stakes; did not quite get home when third in the Irish Oaks last time; this trip could be the perfect one for her and she looks the one to beat.
14:25 Curragh 2nd (10) Wingspan
3Ryan MooreA P O'BrienJust held on to beat a subsequent Listed winner in the Hurry Harriet at Gowran; close third in the Snow Fairy over 1m1f here two weeks ago (Hanalia second); has more to offer but needs to find plenty to have a shout here.
15:00 Curragh 5th (1) Bedtime Story
2Ryan MooreA P O'BrienUnbeaten in four starts; brilliant winner of the Chesham Stakes in June; not as visually impressive twice since in two victories over Exactly, her victory in the Debutante last month being quite laboured; sets the standard but her latest win did display vulnerabilities and would make a defeat here less surprising.
15:00 Curragh 3rd (2) Exactly
2Declan McDonoghA P O'BrienGood filly; Leopardstown maiden winner and her narrow defeat by Bedtime Story here last month would suggest she is still improving; the least likely winner although a big run would not surprise.
15:00 Curragh 1st (3) Lake Victoria
2Wayne LordanA P O'BrienJust held off Red Letter in a hot maiden here in June; stepped up when a decisive winner of the Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket; talented filly and no surprise if she went close here.
15:00 Curragh 4th (4) Red Letter
2Colin KeaneG M LyonsJust touched off by Lake Victoria in a C&D maiden in June; followed up on that when bolting up in a similar maiden a few weeks later; stable not short of talented fillies and this one is probably high up there; big player.
15:00 Curragh 2nd (5) Simmering
2Dylan Browne McMonagleOllie SangsterNailed late by Fairy Godmother at Ascot and has franked that form since by winning an Ascot Group 3 and impressively winning the Group 2 Prix Du Calvados at Deauville; could not be coming here in better form.
15:35 Curragh (1) Big Gossey
7Robert WheartyCharles O'BrienSix of his eight career wins have come here, including twice in the Bold Lad Handicap and in the Scurry in July; has falen just short at stakes level, although not by much, but will need plenty of these to underperform if he is to get involved.
15:35 Curragh 1st (2) Bradsell
4Hollie DoyleArchie WatsonStaking his claim as the leading sprinter this season by winning both starts in a Deauville Listed and when accounting for Believing in the Nunthorpe at York; clearly the one to beat here.
15:35 Curragh (3) Desperate Hero
4Colin KeaneJack ChannonGround versatile as he showed when winning good early season handicaps at Goodwood (heavy) and Hamilton (good); solid run behind Makarova in a Sandonw Group 3 before finding things a bit beyond him in a Group 2 at Goodwood; others much more likely.
15:35 Curragh (4) Go Athletico
6Ronan WhelanAdrian McGuinnessA Group 3 scorer at 5f and 6f during an excellent 2023 campaign; Group 3 win over 6f at the Curragh last September from Big Gossey was on soft ; unplaced in a 5f Group 3 at Longchamp in May and absent since; has a bit to find and unlikely to get enough rain to bring him into contention.
15:35 Curragh (5) Go Bears Go
5Dylan Browne McMonagleDavid LoughnaneGood sprinter at two and three for David Loughnane, including the Railway Stakes and the Phoenix Sprint here; returned to his old trainer after an unsuccesful stint in America; midfield in a Group 3 at Deauville last month; hard to know what he is capable of now and probably best watched.
15:35 Curragh 4th (6) Kerdos
4Richard KingscoteClive CoxGradualted from handicap company to narrowly land the Group 2 Temple Stakes on soft at Haydock in May; respectable efforts in big sprints at Ascot and Goodwood since; each-way chance.
15:35 Curragh (7) Moss Tucker
6W J LeeK J CondonTerrific servant to his connections; enjoyed his finest hour when taking advantage of ease in the ground when winning this last year; won a Listed at Naas on his reappearance but has found the better ground against him last twice although he was far from disgraced at Haydock last week; others might just prove quicker than him on this good ground.
15:35 Curragh 5th (8) Washington Heights
4Tom EavesKevin RyanGood sprint handicapper last year and started this season winning the Group 3 Abernant Stakes at Newmarket; more exposed in Group 1 company last twice and others more likely; tried in cheekpieces here.
15:35 Curragh (9) Bucanero Fuerte
3David EganAdrian MurrayGroup 1 winner last year and started off the season by beating Givemethebeatboys in a Group 3 at Naas in May; unable to sustain his challenge after four months off in the Sprint Cup at Haydock last week; could do better here but the drop back to 5f unlikely to suit.
15:35 Curragh (10) Givemethebeatboys
3Shane FoleyMrs John HarringtonDecent sprinter, won a Navan Listed and a Group 3 here, in addition to a narrow defeat byu Bucanero Fuerte at Naas; well beaten in two forays into Group 1 company and does not look the likeliest winner here.
15:35 Curragh (11) Jasour
3Jim CrowleyClive CoxWon a Group 3 at Ascot in May on his reappearance and a fine third in the Commonwealth Cup; held in Group 1s last twice and others look more likely, but has a chance at his best.
15:35 Curragh (12) Ano Syra
5Seamie HeffernanJohn James FeaneSolid mare and deserves a change of luck in stakes company; unable to cope with the early pace when third to She's Quality in a Tipperary Listed two weeks ago; similar story likely today.
15:35 Curragh 2nd (13) Believing
4Ryan MooreGeorge BougheyHas improved into a Grade 1 performer this season; won the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes here before narrow defeats in a Goodwood Group 2 and to Bradsell in the Nunthorpe; should go close here.
15:35 Curragh 3rd (14) Makarova
5Tom MarquandEd WalkerGroup 3 winner on soft at Sandown; well held by Bradsell and Believing in the Nunthorpe and unlikely to turn those tables.
15:35 Curragh (15) Matilda Picotte
4Oisin MurphyKieran P CotterMostly campaigned over 7f, winning Group contests at Doncaster and Newmarket last year; went off at a rate of knots in a 7f Group 3 at Tipperary two weeks ago and was only caught close home; well worth a try at this trip with similar tactics; interesting runner.
15:35 Curragh (16) Vadream
6Jamie SpencerCharlie FellowesFour-time winner; respectable efforts in good company this year but produced a career best when a close fourth in last week's Sprint Cup; could find this stiff five to his liking and certainly respected.
15:35 Curragh (17) Beautiful Diamond
3Clifford LeeK R BurkeMildly progressive this season; dead-heated in a Listed at Ayr before chasing home Believing in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes here; more needed but going the right way.
15:35 Curragh (18) She's Quality
3Chris HayesJack W DavisonThree wins this season, really getting her act together in first-time blinkers to easily land a Tipperary Listed two weeks ago; headgear left on today and could end up being the most potent of the home challengers.
16:10 Curragh 4th (1) Aomori City
2William BuickCharlie Appleby260,000euros yearling; won 6f Nottingham novice comfortably at odds-on on debut; outpaced over the same trip when third of six behind Ballydoyle's Whistlejacket in the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket; appreciated the step up to this trip when overcoming trouble in running to record a comfortable win in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.
16:10 Curragh (2) Cowardofthecounty
2Declan McDonoghJoseph Patrick O'BrienBeat subsequent Group 2 winner Whistlejacket on debut on testing ground at this venue in May; not disgraced in seventh in the Coventry Stakes; hampered at the start and never going well in the Anglesey Stakes here; much more like it when beating the favourite comfortably in a 7f Group 3 event at Deauville five weeks ago.
16:10 Curragh 2nd (3) Henri Matisse
2Ryan MooreA P O'BrienMade a winning debut over 6f here in May; stepped up considerably when a surprise winner of the 6f Railway Stakes here in late June (Moore on fourth-placed Tunbridge Wells); underlined his progressive status when beating three rivals (including two who reoppose) in the Futurity Stakes over C&D
16:10 Curragh (4) Hill Road
2David EganAdrian MurrayQuality Road colt a $350,000 yearling; third foal; won Naas barrier trial in May but missed first two intended engagements due to coughing; impressed in beating the Aidan O'Brien-trained Shackleton by 5l at Leopardstown early last month; runner-up beaten at odds-on since.
16:10 Curragh (5) Rock Of Cashel
2Wayne LordanA P O'BrienHalf-brother to Oaks winner Snowfall; ran green on debut over C&D; experience stood to him when winning at Galway; made the running before fading to finish last of four behind Henri Matisse in the Futurity Stakes here, 3l off Scorthy Champ.
16:10 Curragh 1st (6) Scorthy Champ
2Dylan Browne McMonagleJoseph Patrick O'BrienWon a Leopardstown maiden in good style on debut, relegating dual subsequent winner Hotazhell to fourth in the process; slowly away and seemed to labour in the early stages before keeping on late to finish 2l third behind Henry Matisse in the Futurity Stakes; no reason why he should turn the tables on the winner.
16:10 Curragh 3rd (7) Seagulls Eleven
2Oisin MurphyHugo PalmerStepped up from debut second on soft ground at Haydock when winning at the same venue on good-to-firm in June; emerged with credit from his clash with the unbeaten Ancient Truth in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket; third upheld the form with second behind The Lion In Winter in the Acomb Stakes.
16:10 Curragh (8) The Parthenon
2Gavin RyanA P O'BrienHighly tried first time out in a 6f Group 3; justified long odds-on favouritism in a 7f maiden at Gowran, beating subsequent winner Lough Tay; missed three Group 2 engagements on account of unsuitable ground; flopped when favourite for three-runner Listed race at Salisbury; found to have lost a right-fore shoe.
16:45 Curragh (1) Al Qareem
5Clifford LeeK R BurkeWon the Group 2 Prix Chaudenay in 2022 and had a productive 2023 campaign, beating Bluestocking in a Listed race at Chester and landing the Group 3 Cumberland Lodge; won the same race at Chester yesterday but is well held by Kyprios on Goodwood Cup running.
16:45 Curragh (2) Crypto Force
4David EganAdrian MurrayBeresford Stakes winner in 2022 for Michael O'Callaghan; well exposed in good company this season; fourth of six in the 1m2f Royal Whip last time; has never run beyond 1m4f; faces massive task.
16:45 Curragh 3rd (3) Giavellotto
5Oisin MurphyMarco BottiSecured back-to-back wins in the 1m6f Group 2 Yorkshire Cup in May, beating Vauban in emphatic style with Al Qareem back in fourth; successfully dropped back to 1m4f to beat Arrest decisively under a 3lb penalty in the Princess Of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket in July; looks capable of making a race of it with Kyprios.
16:45 Curragh 1st (4) Kyprios
6Ryan MooreA P O'BrienThe outstanding stayer of 2022 when 6-6, including the Gold Cup, this race, and the Prix du Cadran; second in his only two runs in 2023 but 4-4 this season; regained the Gold Cup with a gritty defeat of Trawlerman (Vauban fourth) and was thoroughly dominant in beating Friday's Doncaster Cup winner Sweet William in the Goodwood Cup; not always as extravagant as that but has all the qualities of a top stayer.
16:45 Curragh 2nd (5) Vauban
6William BuickW P MullinsThe leading juvenile hurdler of the 2021/22 season, no match for stablemate State Man in the senior ranks, and kept on the Flat since last season's wide-margin Royal Ascot handicap win; no match for Giavellotto in the Yorkshire Cup and beaten 9l behind Kyprios at Royal Ascot; came into his own with a fine winning effort in the 2m Lonsdale Cup at York.
16:45 Curragh (6) Waldadler
5Seamie HeffernanP VovcenkoSolid Group-race form in Germany and beat the reopposing Nastaria in a Listed race over this trip at Hoppegarten in April; not at his best since Group 2 second over 2m at the same venue in May; made little impact in Deauville's Prix Kergorlay last month.
16:45 Curragh (7) Nastaria
5Miguel LopezFrau Anna Schleusner-FruhriepWinner of seven races and generally dependable at stakes level; ended a sequence of placings, including twice behind the smart Alessio, when landing a Listed event over this trip at Hoppegarten five weeks ago; aiming very high now.
16:45 Curragh 4th (8) The Euphrates
3Wayne LordanA P O'BrienFifth in Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Ascot; beaten 8l in sixth in Irish Derby; exploited drop in class when making almost all to win a 1m4f Listed race at Gowran; readily mastered by the talented Crystal Black at Leopardstown 12 days later; stablemate of Kyprios goes beyond 1m4f for the first time.
17:20 Curragh (1) Urban Sky
2Billy GarrittyRichard Fahey14-1 when winning by half a length on debut in a 6f maiden at Hamilton in July; his winning form does not amount to much and he was completely out of his depth in the 7f Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York; has been gelded since and now tried with a visor.
17:20 Curragh (2) No Such Thing
2Colin KeaneG M LyonsArguably the most promising maiden in the field judged on debut second in a 21-runner maiden over 6f here in June; form has been franked by the winner Orchidaceae and third-placed Iowntheball; gelded since debut.
17:20 Curragh 3rd (3) Right And True
2Ryan MooreA P O'BrienThird in maidens at Galway and Naas; one of the lesser lights of the stable's juveniles; however, an official rating of 86 potentially puts him in the mix; addition of cheekpieces may help his cause
17:20 Curragh 4th (4) Sky Advocate
2Richard KingscoteClive CoxBig price when a fair third behind an odds-on winner on his recent debut at Salisbury; may find this too demanding.
17:20 Curragh (5) Viking Invasion
2Dylan Browne McMonagleJoseph Patrick O'BrienImproved considerably from his debut when just touched off by subsequent Group 3 runner-up Swagman over 7f at Naas on his second start; blinkered now after a respectable third placing over 7f at Galway; trip may be a bit shorter than ideal.
17:20 Curragh (6) Fort Star
2Robbie ColganMs Sheila LaveryFirst foal; dam a multiple sprint winner, half-sister to winners, including juvenile Listed scorer Three Sea Captains; speedy pedigree overall; this is a tough task for a newcomer.
17:20 Curragh (7) Lethimfly
2W J LeeNoel MeadeHas plenty of experience; 5f Bellewstown winner on fourth start; struggled in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas.
17:20 Curragh (8) Ran Amok
2Oisin MurphyHugo PalmerIn a first-time tongue-tie when narrowly winning a 6f maiden on good to soft at Chepstow; slowly away and ended up in rear in a Windsor nursery; 75-rated colt seems short of the standard likely to be required
17:20 Curragh (9) Tanager
2Charles BishopEve Johnson Houghton5f AW winner on debut in March; has run well in defeat, notably when third behind the subsequent Newbury Super Sprint winner Caburn at Salisbury; had excuses in a Goodwood nursery last time but has plenty to prove.
17:20 Curragh 1st (10) Spirit d'Or
2Ronan WhelanGavin HernonWas running for the third time when winning a 5f maiden at Moulins just under three weeks ago; official rating of 93 is derived from her fourth placing in a 6f Listed race at Deauville in which the Irish-trained Shamrock Breeze was second and the Queen Mary third Maw Lam filled the same position again; leading contender on that evidence.
17:20 Curragh (11) Unspoken Love
2Clifford LeeK R BurkeHas found things too demanding in a Listed race in France and in the Lowther at York (last of nine) since winning small-field events at Musselburgh and Pontefract; could go well in this company.
17:20 Curragh (12) Canto Della Terra
2Gavin RyanDonnacha Aidan O'BrienRan green but shaped well when second in a 6f maiden at Fairyhouse on her only start for Ado McGuinness; beaten by a 33-1 shot when odds-on in a 7f maiden at Gowran on first outing for Donnacha O'Brien; open to improvement but others look more likely.
17:20 Curragh (13) Abraham Answer
2Rory ClearyM C GrassickIn rear when contesting a Down Royal nursery off a modest rating; no apparent chance unless the addition of blinkers has a dramatic effect
17:20 Curragh (14) Dance For Chester
2Wesley JoyceMichael MulvanyWeak maiden form and soundly beaten in a nursery at Navan; safe to rule out.
17:20 Curragh (15) Parkside Prince
2Andrew SlatteryAndrew SlatteryBetrayed inexperience when 100-1 first time out at Navan, can be left out of calculations.
17:20 Curragh (16) Arkinthestars
2Declan McDonoghK R BurkeSeventh foal; half-sister to a middle-distance winner; dam 1m2f winner, half-sister to 1m 2yo Group 2 winner Ol' Man River, out of 1,000 Guineas/Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Finsceal Beo
17:20 Curragh (17) John's Dragon
2Pierre-Louis JaminTom DascombeWon over 5f on good to firm at Windsor in June; went close in a 5f Chepstow nursery; moderate run at Ripon last time; 70-rated filly is unlikely to feature.
17:20 Curragh 2nd (18) Gloriously Glam
2Shane FoleyMrs John HarringtonProved that her opening handicap mark was a serious underestimating when bolting up in a Sligo nursery; went up 13lb for that, and handed another 3lb for Navan second last time; now rated 81 but will need to surpass that mark to have any chance here.
17:20 Curragh (19) Guelder Rose
2Nathan CrosseDaniel William O'SullivanSixth foal; half-sister to five winners; dam Flat/hurdles winner; lack of experience is a significant drawback.
17:20 Curragh (20) Some Beauty
2Seamie HeffernanDaniel James MurphyMade little impact first time out in a 7f maiden at Dundalk, blinkered now, no appeal.
17:20 Curragh (21) Bluebelardo
2Danny SheehyM C GrassickShowed improvement from debut when fourth at 200-1 at Naas three weeks ago; only 3/4l behind today's rival Right And True in the race won by Rebel Diamond who coasted to victory in a weak contest at Cork earlier this week.
17:20 Curragh (22) Dandy Magic

17:55 Curragh 11th (1) Mashhoor
6Patrick McGettiganJ P MurtaghGroup 3 winner over C&D last season, beating the talented Al Riffa; highly tried in Pattern races this season, and now back in handicap company for the first time since a Cork win early last season off a 9lb lower mark; experienced recruit from the pony-race ranks claims a useful 10lb.
17:55 Curragh 5th (2) Helvic Dream
7Jamie PowellNoel MeadeWon the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup here in 2021 with the help of his favoured testing conditions; has won only twice then, including a maiden hurdle; rated 116 at his peak, now down to 115; finished in front of Mashhoor in a C&D Group 3 race here in April.
17:55 Curragh 3rd (3) Wigmore Street
4Ryan MooreJoseph Patrick O'BrienWinner in Britain for the Crisfords; ran respectably in a Naas handicap in May before disappointing since in a Tipperary conditions race; profited from a vintage Ryan Moore ride when coming from last to first in the 1m Irish Cambridgeshire; up 7lb but could go close if he stays this far.
17:55 Curragh 10th (4) Take Heart
4W J LeeJ P MurtaghRunner-up at Cork over this trip in April; always prominent when close fourth over 1m4f at the same venue next time; eighth of 20 behind Enfjaar in the John Smith's Cup at York in July before a career-best in overcoming a wide draw to beating Enfjaar in the Chesterfield Cup at Goodwood; respected off 4lb higher.
17:55 Curragh 14th (5) Longbourn
8Dylan Browne McMonagleRoss O'SullivanGenerally reliable sort gained his third win when landing a 1m1f handicap at Leopardstown in July, with Genuine Article and Slieve Binnian among his victims; seemed a little below his best when beaten in a four-runner conditions races at Tipperary last time.
17:55 Curragh 6th (6) Alanya
5Gavin RyanThomas GibneyBoth wins have come at this trip including the Ladies Derby at this venue last year off 18lb lower than her present mark; sights lowered now since four of her last five races have been at Listed level; possibly a little too high in the ratings
17:55 Curragh 1st (7) This Songisforyou
6Colin KeaneEmmet MullinsCourse bumper winner in 2022 switched to the Flat last year and won a Clonmel maiden; was a fine third in Colm Quinn BMW Mile at Galway after a low-key start to the season at Leopardstown; of obvious interest on account of trainer/rider combination.
17:55 Curragh 12th (8) Fleetfoot
4Rory ClearyJ S BolgerRan well in smart juvenile maidens and won two of his four races last season; a 1m maiden at Leopardstown and a 1m1f conditions event at Punchestown; unplaced in a Listed race at the Listowel festival and now makes belated seasonal debut; has been gelded.
17:55 Curragh 4th (9) Soaring Monarch
7Luke McAteerAlan McIntyreFour-time winner; did not get the best of runs when third in a 1m4f premier handicap at Galway; had no luck in running in the Irish Cambridgeshire; this trip will suit better and he could go well at a decent price.
17:55 Curragh 8th (10) Genuine Article
4Seamie HeffernanGerard KeaneWell-backed when returning to form with a third behind Longbourn over 1m at Leopardstown in July; again favourite when second at the Galway festival; mid-division in the Irish Cambridgeshire; satisfactory fourth at Galway on Tuesday, blinkered for the first time
17:55 Curragh 7th (11) Apercu
4Wayne LordanA OliverWon Dundalk maiden last December; fine turf debut effort in a 1m1f handicap at this venue in June, staying on well to finish fourth of 21; narrowly beaten at Down Royal before winning in first-time cheekpieces at Naas; out of the money over 1m4f here last time.
17:55 Curragh 9th (12) Slieve Binnian
4N G McCullaghM Halford & T CollinsThree wins from four starts on AW; only 1-16 on turf but has been running consistently; 2lb out of the handicap.
17:55 Curragh 13th (13) Himalayan Heights
3James RyanG M LyonsWon a soft ground Tipperary maiden over an extended 1m4f on his fourth outing; creditable third over a similar trip at the Galway festival; this trip may be a little short of his best and he is 4lb out of the handicap; good 3lb claimer aboard
17:55 Curragh 2nd (14) Indigo Five
5Wesley JoyceJohn James FeaneWon 1m course handicap last October off 64 before narrowly denied a follow-up in a premier handicap here in November; won a premier handicap over 7f here in June; up in trip now after third over 1m here eight weeks ago; 5lb out of the handicap, useful 5lb claimed.
