Race | Horse | Form | Odds | Rating | Weight | Age | Jockey | Trainer | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
13:50 Curragh | 1st (1) My Mate Alfie | 3 | Colin Keane | G M Lyons | Has 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 | 6 | Hollie Doyle | Archie Watson | Has 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 | 3 | Darragh O'Sullivan | J A Stack | Came 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 | 5 | Seamie Heffernan | Patrick T Foley | Three-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 | 6 | W J Lee | A Oliver | Six 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 | 4 | David Egan | Ms Sheila Lavery | Just 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 | 3 | Shane Foley | Ross O'Sullivan | Won 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 | 6 | Billy Garritty | Richard Fahey | Landed 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 | 3 | Chris Hayes | Miss Kate McGivern | Has 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 | 6 | Wayne Lordan | Edward Lynam | Consistent 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 | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Patrick T Foley | Lightly-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 | 3 | Gary Carroll | G M Lyons | Up 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 | 8 | Leigh Roche | M G Quinn | Coming 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 | 9 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Jack W Davison | Eight-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 | 3 | Gavin Ryan | Kieran P Cotter | Sole 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 | 10 | Ronan Whelan | David O'Meara | 17 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 | 5 | Jamie Powell | John James Feane | Won 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 | 4 | Adam Caffrey | Adrian McGuinness | Won 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 | 3 | Robert Whearty | Gavin Cromwell | Won 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 | 4 | Wayne Hassett | Daniel McLoughlin | Got 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 | 6 | James Ryan | Edward Lynam | Three-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 | 4 | Nathan Crosse | Edward Lynam | Highly 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 | 6 | Rory Cleary | Adrian McGuinness | Has 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 | 5 | N G McCullagh | E J O'Neill | Two 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 | 3 | Keithen Kennedy | John Andrew Kinsella | 9-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 | 4 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Consistent 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 | 5 | Mikey Sheehy | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Won 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 | 4 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Rewarded 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 | 5 | William Buick | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Group 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 | 3 | Colin Keane | G M Lyons | Won 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 | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Noel Meade | Failed 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 | 3 | Chris Hayes | D K Weld | Probably 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 | 3 | Shane Foley | J P Murtagh | Beat 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 | 3 | W J Lee | P Twomey | Started 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 | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Just 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 | 2 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Unbeaten 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 | 2 | Declan McDonogh | A P O'Brien | Good 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 | 2 | Wayne Lordan | A P O'Brien | Just 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 | 2 | Colin Keane | G M Lyons | Just 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 | 2 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Ollie Sangster | Nailed 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 | 7 | Robert Whearty | Charles O'Brien | Six 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 | 4 | Hollie Doyle | Archie Watson | Staking 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 | 4 | Colin Keane | Jack Channon | Ground 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 | 6 | Ronan Whelan | Adrian McGuinness | A 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 | 5 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | David Loughnane | Good 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 | 4 | Richard Kingscote | Clive Cox | Gradualted 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 | 6 | W J Lee | K J Condon | Terrific 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 | 4 | Tom Eaves | Kevin Ryan | Good 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 | 3 | David Egan | Adrian Murray | Group 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 | 3 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | Decent 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 | 3 | Jim Crowley | Clive Cox | Won 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 | 5 | Seamie Heffernan | John James Feane | Solid 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 | 4 | Ryan Moore | George Boughey | Has 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 | 5 | Tom Marquand | Ed Walker | Group 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 | 4 | Oisin Murphy | Kieran P Cotter | Mostly 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 | 6 | Jamie Spencer | Charlie Fellowes | Four-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 | 3 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Mildly 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 | 3 | Chris Hayes | Jack W Davison | Three 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 | 2 | William Buick | Charlie Appleby | 260,000euros 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 | 2 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Beat 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 | 2 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Made 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 | 2 | David Egan | Adrian Murray | Quality 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 | 2 | Wayne Lordan | A P O'Brien | Half-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 | 2 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Won 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 | 2 | Oisin Murphy | Hugo Palmer | Stepped 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 | 2 | Gavin Ryan | A P O'Brien | Highly 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 | 5 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Won 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 | 4 | David Egan | Adrian Murray | Beresford 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 | 5 | Oisin Murphy | Marco Botti | Secured 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 | 6 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | The 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 | 6 | William Buick | W P Mullins | The 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 | 5 | Seamie Heffernan | P Vovcenko | Solid 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 | 5 | Miguel Lopez | Frau Anna Schleusner-Fruhriep | Winner 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 | 3 | Wayne Lordan | A P O'Brien | Fifth 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 | 2 | Billy Garritty | Richard Fahey | 14-1 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 | 2 | Colin Keane | G M Lyons | Arguably 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 | 2 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Third 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 | 2 | Richard Kingscote | Clive Cox | Big 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 | 2 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Improved 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 | 2 | Robbie Colgan | Ms Sheila Lavery | First 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 | 2 | W J Lee | Noel Meade | Has plenty of experience; 5f Bellewstown winner on fourth start; struggled in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas. | ||||
17:20 Curragh | (8) Ran Amok | 2 | Oisin Murphy | Hugo Palmer | In 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 | 2 | Charles Bishop | Eve Johnson Houghton | 5f 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 | 2 | Ronan Whelan | Gavin Hernon | Was 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 | 2 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Has 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 | 2 | Gavin Ryan | Donnacha Aidan O'Brien | Ran 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 | 2 | Rory Cleary | M C Grassick | In 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 | 2 | Wesley Joyce | Michael Mulvany | Weak maiden form and soundly beaten in a nursery at Navan; safe to rule out. | ||||
17:20 Curragh | (15) Parkside Prince | 2 | Andrew Slattery | Andrew Slattery | Betrayed inexperience when 100-1 first time out at Navan, can be left out of calculations. | ||||
17:20 Curragh | (16) Arkinthestars | 2 | Declan McDonogh | K R Burke | Seventh 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 | 2 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Tom Dascombe | Won 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 | 2 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | Proved 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 | 2 | Nathan Crosse | Daniel William O'Sullivan | Sixth foal; half-sister to five winners; dam Flat/hurdles winner; lack of experience is a significant drawback. | ||||
17:20 Curragh | (20) Some Beauty | 2 | Seamie Heffernan | Daniel James Murphy | Made little impact first time out in a 7f maiden at Dundalk, blinkered now, no appeal. | ||||
17:20 Curragh | (21) Bluebelardo | 2 | Danny Sheehy | M C Grassick | Showed 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 | 2 | Wayne Lordan | Emmet Mullins | Two solid efforts in sprint maidens; came home strongly when third in a 19-runner 6f Navan event; disappointing favourite over 7f at Galway. | ||||
17:20 Curragh | (23) Run Maggie Run | 2 | Rory Mulligan | Cian Collins | No sign of ability in four maiden attempts; no apparent chance. | ||||
17:20 Curragh | (24) Western Dreamer | 2 | Sean Davis | Chris Timmons | Sixth foal; half-sister to four winners; dam placed, half-sister to a North American stakes winner; set a very tough task on debut. | ||||
17:55 Curragh | 11th (1) Mashhoor | 6 | Patrick McGettigan | J P Murtagh | Group 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 | 7 | Jamie Powell | Noel Meade | Won 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 | 4 | Ryan Moore | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Winner 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 | 4 | W J Lee | J P Murtagh | Runner-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 | 8 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Ross O'Sullivan | Generally 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 | 5 | Gavin Ryan | Thomas Gibney | Both 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 | 6 | Colin Keane | Emmet Mullins | Course 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 | 4 | Rory Cleary | J S Bolger | Ran 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 | 7 | Luke McAteer | Alan McIntyre | Four-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 | 4 | Seamie Heffernan | Gerard Keane | Well-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 | 4 | Wayne Lordan | A Oliver | Won 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 | 4 | N G McCullagh | M Halford & T Collins | Three 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 | 3 | James Ryan | G M Lyons | Won 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 | 5 | Wesley Joyce | John James Feane | Won 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. |
