13:45 Curragh Maiden 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (4/5 +0%) California Dreamer	0.8 4/5(+0%)	(1) California Dreamer 4/5, Foaled April 5. 130,000 gns Mehmas filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1½m/13f winner Pennymoor and 7f winner Ceanna. Dam winner up to 11f (2-y-o 6f winner). Stable has already had a first-time-out 2-y-o winner here this season. Market confidence significant. Half-sister to four winners including 1m5f Listed winner; yard has good line to 2yo form.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -33%) Cradle Of Love	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Cradle Of Love 4/1, Foaled April 7. €170,000 Kodiac filly. Sister to 6f winner Rumaythah and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Stela Star and 2-y-o 1m winner Caroline Herschel. Very interesting newcomer. Yard's first 2-y-o runner of season cost E170,000 as a yearling; related to 2yo winners.
6	6 (6) (5/1 -11%) Usdi Atohi	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Usdi Atohi 5/1, Foaled March 17. €150,000 Ten Sovereigns filly. Sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Asean. Bred to be sharp. Sister to Asean who won twice at two for yard last season, including Listed contest here.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +0%) Pleasant Dawn	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Pleasant Dawn 10/1, Foaled January 14. Dawn Approach filly. Dam unraced. The betting should help guide to expectations. First foal; unraced dam is out of 1m winning sister to 6f-1m2f winner Rince Deireanach.
3	3 (3) (25/1 +0%) Marianne North	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) Marianne North 25/1, 7/1, well-held fourth of 8 in C&D maiden (heavy) on debut 19 days ago, not knocked about. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Open to improvement. Fourth of 8 over C&D last month, beaten 11l, and third won since; experience an asset.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -32%) Ms Highway	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Ms Highway 33/1, Foaled March 20. €1,500 yearling, Prince of Lir filly. Sister to 7f winner No News and half-sister to 3 winners, including temperamental 8.3f winner Modakhar and 7f-8.3f winner Cliff Bay. California Dreamer has to be considered the stable first string unless the market hints otherwise. Cheaply bought sister to 7f AW winner, half-sister to three other winners over 7f/1m.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

USDI ATOHI, a full-sister to 5f Listed winner Asean, appears to have been found a good starting point and this daughter of Ten Sovereigns, who cost 150,000 euros as a yearling, can lay down an early marker for youngsters set to come from the Donnacha O'Brien yard. Cradle Of Love also has an appealing pedigree and, being by Kodiac, can be fancied to cope with the forecast ground conditions. California Dreamer looks the pick of Adrian Murray's pair, although a longer trip is likely to suit before long.

Adrian Murray has already had a first-time-out 2-y-o winner here in the Amo Silks this year so CALIFORNIA DREAMER is the suggestion before any betting clues are known. Cradle of Love and Usdi Atohi are other likely types on breeding.

Adrian Murray and AMO Racing have a good line to early-season juvenile form in Ireland and can strike with CALIFORNIA DREAMER

13:45 Curragh Maiden 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:20 Curragh Maiden 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (9/4 +25%) Uncanny	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(3) Uncanny 9/4, Churchill filly. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 11f, half-sister to useful 1½m-13.5f winner Moon Daisy. Interesting newcomer. First foal of 1m AW winner who is half-sister to useful 1m4f/13.5f winner Moon Daisy.
8	8 (8) (7/2 -17%) It'sonlyjustbegun	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(8) It'sonlyjustbegun 7/2, Churchill filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Flaming Princess. Dam, maiden (stayed 6f), half-sister to winner up to 1m Royal Dornoch and winner up to 1¼m Hawksmoor, both smart. One to note. Half-sister to Listed winner Flaming Princess; dam half-sister to Group winner Hawksmoor.
7	7 (7) (6/1 -20%) Glen Princess	6 6/1(-20%)	(7) Glen Princess 6/1, €48,000 yearling, Calyx filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 9.7f/1¼m winner Encapsulation and 12.5f winner Tashi, both useful. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Al Galayel. Worth a look. Half-sister to four winners including Encapsulation, a Listed winner over 1m2f.
6	6 (6) (15/2 +6%) Bleak Midwinter	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(6) Bleak Midwinter 15/2, €40,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett filly. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to smart 11.6f/1½m winner Brimham Rocks out of useful 2-y-o 8.3f winner (stayed 1½m) Colima. Shrewd yard is frugal enough with their outlay but spent E40,000 on this one; note market.
9	9 (9) (8/1 -60%) Kailasa	8 8/1(-60%)	(9) Kailasa 8/1, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Kailash and 7f winner Kaliysta. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Market should guide. Half-sister to winners Kailash (1m2f) and Kaliysta (Qatar 7f); apparent second string.
12	12 (12) (12/1 -50%) White Clover	12 12/1(-50%)	(12) White Clover 12/1, €30,000 yearling, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Coley's Koko and 2-y-o 5f winner Sunmoonstar. Dam twice-raced half-sister to very smart 5f (Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp)/6f winner Gilt Edge Girl. Yard seems to be in decent nick and this E30,000 yearling is from a speedy 5f family.
10	10 (10) (16/1 +0%) Miss Meagher	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Miss Meagher 16/1, €11,000 yearling, Galileo Gold filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 7.5f), half-sister to smart winner up to 9f Doctor Geoff. Dam half-sister to 7f Irish Listed/Hong Kong 1m1f Group 3 winner Doctor Geoff; shrewd yard.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -13%) Harseva	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Harseva 18/1, Harzand filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 6f/7f winner Aramis Grey and winner up to 8.3f Rayoumti. Wears tongue strap. Homebred half-sister to four winners out of unraced half-sister to classy miler Intikhab.
5	5 (5) (20/1 +39%) Beyond Your Dreams	20 20/1(+39%)	(5) Beyond Your Dreams 20/1, Twice-raced filly. Eleventh of 13 in maiden (40/1) at Dundalk (8f) 64 days ago, slowly away. Only 4-1 for AW debut in January but well held and same story when friendless next time.
4	4 (4) (66/1 +0%) Abbey Actress	66 66/1(+0%)	(4) Abbey Actress 66/1, Once-raced filly. Hooded, last of 14 in maiden (50/1) at Dundalk (7f) on debut. Off 113 days. 50-1, eased to finish in rear in AW maiden in December; nice enough pedigree.
11	11 (11) (80/1 -21%) Nans View	80 80/1(-21%)	(11) Nans View 80/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 11 in maiden at Gowran (8.3f, heavy, 33/1) on debut, missing break. Off 172 days. Soundly beaten in back-end Gowran maiden run on heavy ground; watching brief.
1	1 (1) (200/1 +0%) Barrogstown Girl	200 200/1(+0%)	(1) Barrogstown Girl 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 13 in maiden at Galway (7f, heavy, 100/1), merely passing beaten rivals. Off 159 days. 100-1 and never a factor in two runs last year.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Those with experience have hardly set the world alight, so it is probably best to concentrate on the newcomers. It is interesting that Coolmore have kept Uncanny on the team as a four-year-old and she warrants obvious respect, but fellow Churchill filly IT'SONLYJUSTBEGUN also represents Coolmore interests and the weight this 120,000gns half-sister to a Listed winner receives sways the vote in her favour. Kailasa is from a good Aga Khan family and looks the pick of Johnny Murtagh's two.

It looks significant that powerful connections have been patient with UNCANNY and she's taken to make a belated winning start. This looks likely to be dominated by newcomers, with It'sonlyjustbegun and Glen Princess heading the dangers before market clues.

A guessing game. Barry Fitzgerald often produces a useful type or two in early-season maidens so MISS MEAGHER is a hopeful selection

14:20 Curragh Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:55 Curragh Group 3 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (11/4 +0%) White Birch	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(9) White Birch 11/4, Smart colt, notably third in the Derby at Epsom in June. Bounced back from a lesser run in the Irish Derby when fourth in a Leopardstown Group 3 on final 3-y-o start. Won in the mud on last year's reappearance so these ground conditions won't worry him. Should go well. Might be better over 1m4f but the one to beat on figures if back to his best; new rider.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +27%) Maxux	4 4/1(+27%)	(6) Maxux 4/1, Took her form up a notch when winning 9f Fairyhouse fillies' Group 3 on her final start last year. Only had 4 starts so should have more to offer for her leading stable. Readily landed 1m1f Fairyhouse Group 3 in September; unraced on worse than yielding.
8	8 (8) (5/1 +50%) Village Voice	5 5/1(+50%)	(8) Village Voice 5/1, Useful filly who rounded off her 3-y-o season with a 10.5f Saint-Cloud Group 3 success on soft. All three wins on soft or heavy including Navan Listed contest on last year's return.
1	1 (1) (6/1 -20%) Greenland	6 6/1(-20%)	(1) Greenland 6/1, Smart colt who won a Group 3 in France last May. Last seen finishing 5¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Fantastic Moon in Prix Niel at Longchamp in October. Respected for top yard. Raced exclusively in France last year, winning Group 3 at Saint-Cloud on his second start.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -15%) Layfayette	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(2) Layfayette 15/2, Smart 3-time C&D winner, including this in 2022. Below par in Bahrain when last seen but capable of bouncing back. Multiple stakes winner including this race two years ago and will handle the ground.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +9%) Mashhoor	10 10/1(+9%)	(3) Mashhoor 10/1, Smart gelding who bagged listed/Group 3 wins here last summer. Has a penalty to shoulder but should still be competitive if ready to roll. Behind Lafayette and White Birch at Leopardstown on final start last term; ground concerns.
4	4 (4) (11/1 -10%) Crypto Force	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Crypto Force 11/1, Not seen since his Group 2 Beresford win over 1m here in the September of his 2-y-o season. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations after such a long absence. Every chance of staying 1m2f on pedigree but stiff task after an absence since 2022.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -14%) Helvic Dream	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Helvic Dream 16/1, Useful C&D winner. Latest Flat win here in October. Has also won over hurdles this winter but well held in a handicap at Fairyhouse last weekend. Others are preferred back on the Flat. Former Group 1 winner not at that level nowadays; race fit from hurdling.
7	7 (7) (66/1 +18%) The Shadow Lingers	66 66/1(+18%)	(7) The Shadow Lingers 66/1, Won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (1m, 66/1) on debut 52 days ago. Up in trip. Promising but very much pitched in at the deep end on second start. Was 66-1 when easily winning 1m AW maiden on debut in February; ordinary form though.

CRYPTO FORCE beat none other than Auguste Rodin on his debut back in June 2022 and although he hasn't been seen since winning the Group 2 Beresford Stakes over a mile here in September of that year, his class might see him through for him to make a winning return to action. Maxux impressed when running out a decisive winner of a Group 3 over 1m1f at Fairyhouse in September and she heads the dangers. If White Birch is back to the form which saw him finish third in the Derby at Epsom last summer, then he would be a big player.

Last year's Epsom Derby third WHITE BIRCH won a Group 3 in the mud on his 3-y-o reappearance and can start off his 4-y-o campaign in similar fashion. Maxus and Greenland head the dangers in a competitive Group 3, with all bar one of the runners already successful at pattern level.

Multiple stakes winner LAYFAYETTE won't mind conditions and generally goes well fresh so he is taken to land this for a second time

14:55 Curragh Group 3 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:25 Curragh Handicap 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (5/2 -11%) Crystal Black	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(1) Crystal Black 5/2, Two wins from 6 runs last year. Career best when winning 22-runner handicap at this course (10f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 6 months. 9 lb rise looks on the harsh side. Dual course winner but has not yet been seen to best effect on deep ground.
6	6 (6) (4/1 -20%) Mr Rango	4 4/1(-20%)	(6) Mr Rango 4/1, Course winner. First run since leaving Ross O'Sullivan when respectable third of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy, 4/1) 13 days ago. Entitled to come on for that and needs considering. Very encouraging return at Naas 13 days ago when finishing his race off well over 7f.
2	2 (2) (11/2 -38%) Grey Leader	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(2) Grey Leader 11/2, Three wins from 5 runs last year. Career best when winning 5-runner minor event at Gowran (8.3f, heavy, 10/3). Off 173 days. Makes handicap debut. Remains unexposed. Handicap debutant with a record of 3-5; could well prove himself worthy of this mark.
5	5 (5) (6/1 +14%) Casanova	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) Casanova 6/1, Twenty eight runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 19 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D (heavy) 19 days ago. Fourth in the Irish Lincolnshire recently and Adam Caffrey takes off 5lb this time.
10	10 (10) (9/1 -13%) Sirjack Thomas	9 9/1(-13%)	(10) Sirjack Thomas 9/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Cork (7f, heavy) 7 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Two good recent efforts over 7f bode well when probably a better horse over this far.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +17%) Fast Tara	10 10/1(+17%)	(3) Fast Tara 10/1, 6¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Mutasarref in listed race (16/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy). Off 167 days. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Murtagh. Potentially on a fair mark back in a handicap. Often highly tried and was placed in her only previous handicap off 2lb higher.
9	9 (9) (11/1 -10%) Duke Of Leggagh	11 11/1(-10%)	(9) Duke Of Leggagh 11/1, 4/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 13 days ago. Could strip fitter for his Naas comeback and returning to further is a definite plus.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -25%) Current Option	25 25/1(-25%)	(4) Current Option 25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, eighteenth of 19 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 19 days ago. Hood back on. Finished well behind in the Irish Lincolnshire on his recent C&D reappearance.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -32%) Loingseoir	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Loingseoir 33/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others preferred. It's been a quiet start to this season, over 5f here and then 7f at Naas.
8	8 (8) (40/1 +0%) You Owe Me Money	40 40/1(+0%)	(8) You Owe Me Money 40/1, Last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 18/1). Off 122 days. 5lb higher than for her latest success and last year didn't end well.

Crystal Black relished a return to 1m2f when landing the Northfields Premier Handicap here in September and he warrants respect on his return to action. However, the combination of a 9lb rise in the ratings and this drop in distance may leave Gerard Keane's charge vulnerable, so the race-fit MR RANGO edges the vote. The six-year-old offered plenty of encouragement in third on his stable bow over an inadequate 7f at Naas last month and he looks ready to land a race of this calibre. The progressive Grey Leader also demands a second look now handicapping.

Dual C&D winner SIRJACK THOMAS has been holding his form well in recent weeks could be ready to strike (2 lb below last winning mark) with the return to 1m in his favour. Grey Leader progressed to win 3 of his 5 starts as a 3-y-o so must be respected, while Fast Tara is potentially on a nice mark back in a handicap and starting out for a new yard.

The 8yo CASANOVA (nap) is back to a mark he should be winning off and it was an excellent return effort in the Irish Lincolnshire

15:25 Curragh Handicap 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:00 Curragh Maiden 6f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (13/8 +13%) Eclipse Emerald	1.625 13/8(+13%)	(4) Eclipse Emerald 13/8, Holy Roman Emperor colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Thunder Eclipse. 16/1, second of 20 in maiden at this course (5.9f, heavy) on debut in October, no match for the winner but nicely on top of the remainder. Of interest now embarking on 3-y-o campaign. Well bred and best of the rest behind a promising Aidan O'Brien debutant here in October.
5	5 (5) (5/2 +0%) Follow Me	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(5) Follow Me 5/2, Fairly useful colt who finished fourth in French Group 3 last summer and ended last year with a good fifth of 13 in valuable sales race at Longchamp (8f, good to firm) in September. Changed hands for €170,000 in November and has to be of interest returning in a maiden lacking depth. Ran to a smart level in five French defeats last year, from 6f to 1m; bought 170,000euros.
14	14 (14) (15/2 -7%) Pansy Poe	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(14) Pansy Poe 15/2, Starspangledbanner filly who improved plenty on her debut form despite not being ideally placed when third of 13 in maiden (12/1) at Cork (5f, soft) in September, running on to be nearest at the finish. Could yet have more to offer. Likeable efforts last season and returning to 6f will suit; stable has two live chances.
13	13 (13) (17/2 -6%) Ojw Legacy	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(13) Ojw Legacy 17/2, Twice-raced filly. 16/1, third of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) in November, headed approaching final 1f and no extra. Comes here with yard in good form but she's another likely to be better suited by handicaps. Third in both her runs last season but might be vulnerable in a maiden of this nature.
12	12 (12) (11/1 -10%) Many Thanks	11 11/1(-10%)	(12) Many Thanks 11/1, Camacho filly who ran to a similar level as on debut despite not being seen to best effect when sixth of 13 in a C&D maiden in October. Appeals as the type to do better when tackling handicaps on the back of this. Positives to take from both her soft-ground runs last season and should progress.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -17%) Monasterboice	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Monasterboice 14/1, Son of Mehmas who displayed fair form on 2 of his 3 starts in maidens as a juvenile. Below best on final start at Dundalk (7f) in November but gelded/equipped with blinkers ahead of return and each-way claims here. Best run last year was his fifth of 17 here over 7f on testing ground; since gelded.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +0%) Judge Me Not	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Judge Me Not 14/1, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 6f winner Leap Abroad and 2-y-o 5f winner Exceeder. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Market should guide as to expectations on debut. Half-brother to five winners; in top hands so needs checking in the market.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -14%) Gerrit's Gem	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Gerrit's Gem 16/1, Belardo gelding. 10/3, offered something to work on when sixth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) on debut in October, keeping on without being knocked about. Open to improvement on return to action. Finished midfield in a 6f maiden at Dundalk in October; did go off quite short at 100-30.
9	9 (9) (33/1 +0%) Positive Energy	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Positive Energy 33/1, Twice-raced gelding. 14/1, thirteenth of 15 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy). Off 168 days. Down in trip and handicaps will probably be more his bag. Both runs last season were at 1m, showing more the first time when a never-dangerous sixth.
3	3 (3) (40/1 -60%) Short Change	40 40/1(-60%)	(3) Short Change 40/1, Once-raced gelding. 12/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut 43 days ago. First run for yard after leaving J. J. Feane. Made debut as a 5yo at Dundalk this February and showed some promise in a midfield finish.
15	15 (15) (66/1 -65%) Somptueuse	66 66/1(-65%)	(15) Somptueuse 66/1, €8,000 yearling, Footstepsinthesand filly. Dam unraced half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Setarhe (by Footstepsinthesand). 8,000euros yearling; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to Listed winner Inverleigh.
1	1 (1) (66/1 +0%) Beaumadier	66 66/1(+0%)	(1) Beaumadier 66/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. Tenth of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Naas (7f, heavy) 13 days ago, slowly away. Vulnerable back in maiden company. Ten-race maiden with a low handicap mark and unlikely to be the answer to a Curragh maiden.
8	8 (8) (100/1 +0%) Our Dagger	100 100/1(+0%)	(8) Our Dagger 100/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, eleventh of 18 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft), slowly away. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving John Larkin. Beaten 16l in both starts last year and appeals as one for handicaps.
16	16 (16) (100/1 -52%) Weston Grey	100 100/1(-52%)	(16) Weston Grey 100/1, Once-raced filly. Thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 9/1) on debut 43 days ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Beat just the one home at Dundalk in February when a 9-1 chance; now has tongue tied.
10	10 (10) (150/1 +0%) Rappell	150 150/1(+0%)	(10) Rappell 150/1, Down the field in pair of maidens at up to 6f during the autumn and he can only be watched back from 174 days off. Insufficient promise in last season's two runs (5.5f/6f) to warrant a second look here.
11	11 (11) (150/1 +0%) Layoftheland	150 150/1(+0%)	(11) Layoftheland 150/1, Thrice-raced filly. Eleventh of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 300/1) 29 days ago. Back down in trip. Can only be watched. Minor form thus far and handicaps will be more like it, probably at an ordinary level.

ECLIPSE EMERALD outran his odds to finish a highly-encouraging second over C&D in October and he should have learned a great deal from that debut experience. The son of Holy Roman Emperor has plenty of speed in his pedigree and, with normal progression, he could prove hard to beat. Ojw Legacy has finished third on both of her starts to date and she could still have more to offer, so she has to be considered as she takes a drop in trip. Any market confidence behind Judge Me Not on his debut would also be interesting.

FOLLOW ME displayed fairly useful form in a handful of starts in France during the second half of last term and, picked up for €170,000 thereafter, he looks to have been found a good starting point in a maiden lacking depth. Eclipse Emerald showed plenty to work on when second in a C&D maiden on debut in October and he's a lead threat. Panny Poe and newcomer Judge Me Not are others to keep an eye on.

Follow Me sets the standard on his French form but the Stack yard has two strong contenders in ECLIPSE EMERALD and Pansy Poe

16:35 Curragh Maiden 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (11/8 +45%) Evening Blossom	1.375 11/8(+45%)	(3) Evening Blossom 11/8, Promising type. Third of 16 in maiden at this course (7f, soft, 7/1) on debut. Off 177 days. Significantly up in trip. Looks the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Third behind an exciting winner here last October and she has the Irish Oaks entry.
7	7 (7) (3/1 -9%) Opaque	3 3/1(-9%)	(7) Opaque 3/1, Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Badb. Dam, maiden (should have stayed 1½m), closely related to useful 1¼m-1½m winner (stayed 1¾m) Beach of Falesa. Of obvious interest on debut. 3rd foal; half-sister to Group 2-placed 6f 2yo winner Badb (RPR 97); dam placed 10.6f/1m4f.
5	5 (5) (11/2 -38%) Lady Doris	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(5) Lady Doris 11/2, Promising type. Fourth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 50/1) on debut, met some trouble. Off 162 days. Up in trip. Should have more to offer and merits plenty of respect. Unlucky not to be closer at Dundalk and open to any amount of improvement.
6	6 (6) (10/1 -11%) Nativity Square	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Nativity Square 10/1, Thrice-raced filly. 33/1, fourth of 5 in minor event at Naas (8f, heavy) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Place claims. Has experience and perhaps an edge in fitness, so likely to have some say.
1	1 (1) (18/1 -13%) Ameilya	18 18/1(-13%)	(1) Ameilya 18/1, Once-raced filly. 18/1, sixth of 14 in maiden at Limerick (7f, good to firm) on debut. Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. May take a step forward if she's tuned up. Beaten under 4l at Limerick and the winner went on to win the Chesham.
10	10 (10) (18/1 +28%) Yes Oui Si	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Yes Oui Si 18/1, Once-raced filly. Tenth of 19 in maiden (16/1) at this course (8f, heavy) on debut. Off 6 months. Up in trip. From off the pace she never threatened to get involved over 1m here in September.
2	2 (2) (20/1 +0%) Chick Flick	20 20/1(+0%)	(2) Chick Flick 20/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Naas (8f, heavy) 13 days ago. Up in trip. More required. Promising run at Naas two weeks ago (1m, heavy) behind Wendla who has a future.
8	8 (8) (20/1 +20%) Preparations	20 20/1(+20%)	(8) Preparations 20/1, €10,000 yearling, Mastercraftsman filly. Sister to 1¼m/11f winner Sigismundus Rex.

Significantly up in trip. May well do better. Lacked the gears over 7f at Leopardstown but this longer distance should be a big plus.
4	4 (4) (50/1 -52%) Game Phoenix	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Game Phoenix 50/1, €14,000 yearling, resold €13,000 yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to 6f/7f winner Mina Maccari.

EVENING BLOSSOM showed plenty of promise on her debut here over 7f and the form of that maiden has worked out well. A daughter of Australia, stepping up in trip should be no inconvenience to Joseph's O'Brien's Irish Oaks entry and she is narrowly preferred to Lady Doris, who herself was an eyecatcher first time out at Dundalk when staying on late for fourth. Opaque looks the pick of the newcomers for leading connections, while Nativity Square has already run twice this year so should be plenty fit enough.

EVENING BLOSSOM showed plenty on debut and there's the scope for a chunk of improvement, so she gets the nod over newcomer Opaque, who has plenty to recommend her on breeding and represents top connections. Lady Doris is another obvious player.

An Irish Oaks entry heightens interest in EVENING BLOSSOM who ran a thoroughly likeable first race here in October

17:05 Curragh Handicap 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (9/4 -13%) Stag Night	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(3) Stag Night 9/4, C&D winner. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Cork (5f, heavy, 5/1) 7 days ago by neck from Two Stars. Merits consideration. Not had a lot of racing since winning this two years ago; narrow winner at Cork latest.
7	7 (7) (5/2 -25%) Two Stars	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(7) Two Stars 5/2, Promising type. One win from 3 runs last year. 10/3, creditable neck second of 11 to Stag Night in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy) 7 days ago. Worth a chance to reverse the form with that rival. Pushed Stag Night close at Cork and this low-mileage 4yo seems to be improving.
2	2 (2) (6/1 +8%) Laugh A Minute	6 6/1(+8%)	(2) Laugh A Minute 6/1, Course winner. Latest win here in September. 11/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 19 days ago, never nearer. Likely to be on the premises. Didn't get the breaks here last time and he went close in this race 12 months ago.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +0%) Tough Talk	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(6) Tough Talk 13/2, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Fourth of 6 in handicap (7/4) at Leopardstown (7.3f, good), nearest finish. Off 8 months. Yard having good spell. Tongue strap back on. Should go well if he's tuned up. Smart 2yo and lightly raced since; potentially on a good mark with perhaps more to give.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +0%) Dagoda	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Dagoda 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. 14/1, good third of 19 in handicap at this course (5.9f, heavy). Off 158 days. Dual course winner and third of 19 after missing the break in a C&D handicap in October.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -40%) Heavenly Power	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Heavenly Power 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Navan in October. 4/1, respectable 6 lengths third of 10 to Stag Night in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft). Off 175 days. Not discounted. Probably needs his best form yet to defy current mark in this company.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +0%) Big Gossey	14 14/1(+0%)	(1) Big Gossey 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 20/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 19 days ago. Good course record but it's never going to be easy off his current mark.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +0%) Verhoyen	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Verhoyen 25/1, 3-time C&D winner. Eleventh of 16 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy, 50/1) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others make more appeal. Plenty of form here but this season's two efforts leave him with a bit to prove.

Stag Night built on his runner-up display here when just getting up in the closing stages to head Two Stars at Cork last week. Both command plenty of respect and the latter may well reverse the form with a 2lb swing, but a chance is taken with TOUGH TALK. Best known for making a winning debut here in April 2022 when getting the better of Little Big Bear and Shartash, things didn't go to plan last season. However, a promising effort after a gelding operation when fourth at Leopardstown in July gave hope he was heading in the right direction and the handicapper has given him an excellent chance to bounce back.

TWO STARS has been going the right way for a while and is fancied to turn the tables from old rival STAG NIGHT following a tight finish at Cork a week ago. Laugh A Minute also arrives on the back of a solid effort and deserves respect.

The evergreen 9yo LAUGH A MINUTE was a luckless third here last month and he looks sure to be seriously involved

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (10/3 -11%) Neptunes Staircase	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(4) Neptunes Staircase 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, good second of 10 in maiden at this C&D (heavy) 153 days ago. Trainer going well. Makes handicap debut. One to consider. Improved form in two back-end maidens including narrow defeat over C&D on heavy.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -11%) Carlo Bianconi	5 5/1(-11%)	(3) Carlo Bianconi 5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Off 10 months and 4/5, second of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) 66 days ago, no match for subsequent handicap winner. More to come now handicapping for leading yard. Creditable second in both maiden runs; up in trip for handicap debut and likely to stay.
9	9 (9) (7/1 -17%) Nostringsattached	7 7/1(-17%)	(9) Nostringsattached 7/1, Winner here in September. Good second of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy, 3/1) when last seen. Off 167 days. More to come up in trip this year and leading claims. Best form over 1m2f; first try at this trip which she's bred to get but needs to settle.
6	6 (6) (8/1 -23%) Pachmena	8 8/1(-23%)	(6) Pachmena 8/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 44 Flat runs. Good fourth of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 25/1) 22 days ago. Not taken lightly. Rarely wins but fit from AW, goes well here and handles the ground so each-way chance.
12	12 (12) (11/1 +8%) Narlita	11 11/1(+8%)	(12) Narlita 11/1, Winner at Bellewstown in September. 9/4, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, heavy) 159 days ago. One to note on her return. Thrived over this trip on testing ground in the autumn; five month lay-off is the concern.
8	8 (8) (11/1 -38%) Bay Of Sanibel	11 11/1(-38%)	(8) Bay Of Sanibel 11/1, Won 15-runner maiden at Navan (14f, heavy, 12/1) by neck from Neptunes Staircase when last seen, digging deep. Off 171 days. Makes handicap debut and could improve again. Beat Neptunes Staircase by a neck at Navan in October; scopey sort and well bred.
11	11 (11) (14/1 -40%) St Faz	14 14/1(-40%)	(11) St Faz 14/1, 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, very good third of 22 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 91 days ago. Progressive on the Flat when last seen in this sphere and one to consider. 1m5f winner on good ground but has form on soft and not out of this under Lee.
10	10 (10) (14/1 +44%) Nostra Casa	14 14/1(+44%)	(10) Nostra Casa 14/1, Latest win at Thurles in October. Sixteenth of 20 in handicap (17/2) at this course (14f, heavy) 158 days ago. Has winning form on soft over further; up in grade but not had much racing for his age.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -14%) Belgoprince	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Belgoprince 16/1, Latest win at Epsom in August. 9/2, below form ninth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 102 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blew his mark when winning by 11l at Epsom last summer and been off since Christmas.
13	13 (13) (16/1 -14%) Whimsy	16 16/1(-14%)	(13) Whimsy 16/1, Second of 4 in novice hurdle (6/5) at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Poor on last Flat run. On a very tempting mark. Has been handling heavy ground well over hurdles lately and race fitness will be an asset.
16	16 (16) (22/1 -10%) Valleyoftheeagles	22 22/1(-10%)	(16) Valleyoftheeagles 22/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft) when last seen. Off 8 months. Blinkers on 1st time. Wouldn't dismiss. Hurdles winner not beaten far when mid-division on Flat handicap debut at Killarney.
14	14 (14) (22/1 +12%) Young Lucy	22 22/1(+12%)	(14) Young Lucy 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 16f in bumpers. Seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Cork (16f, soft) 153 days ago. One to consider. Bumper winner faces stiff task on handicap debut after five months off, ground not ideal.
1	1 (1) (22/1 +33%) Edge Of Darkness	22 22/1(+33%)	(1) Edge Of Darkness 22/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Charlie Johnston when below form seventh of 14 in claimer at Dundalk (10.7f, 13/2) 22 days ago, not knocked about. Better for recent stable debut on AW but probably high enough in the ratings at present.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -65%) Voice Of Reason	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Voice Of Reason 33/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. 11/1, first run since leaving G. M. Lyons when seventh of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 102 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. 1m3f maiden winner last summer for Ger Lyons, soundly beaten in two handicaps; tongue-tie.

Poor/ungenuine hurdler for this yard. 50/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 22 days ago. Won on heavy in Britain; not done much over hurdles for this yard, ok AW run last month.

Having been narrowly denied by the reopposing Bay Of Sanibel at Navan in October, NEPTUNES STAIRCASE went agonisingly close once again when touched off by the now 97-rated Queenstown over C&D the following month. The pair ought to be closely matched on their switch to handicap company, although Ger Lyons' gelding is proven on heavy ground and can exact his revenge. Carlo Bianconi, runner-up on both of his career starts, should relish a step up in trip, while others to note include Nostringsattached and Narlita.

NOSTRINGSATTACHED likely has more to offer this year and is taken to make a successful return back at the scene of her September success. Dangers include Neptunes Staircase, Carlo Bianconi and St Faz in a good-looking handicap for the grade.

A competitive finale in which the unexposed NEPTUNES STAIRCASE, touched off in a C&D maiden at the back-end of last season, gets the nod

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.
