13:25 Curragh Maiden 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +28%) Democracy	1 1/1(+28%)	(1) Democracy 1/1, Foaled March 18. No Nay Never colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Midnight Mile (won on debut, fourth in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf). Appealing newcomer for Ballydoyle.
2	2 2nd (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Jalaybee	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(2) Jalaybee 4.5/1, Foaled February 8. 80,000 gns foal, 100,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner (scored on debut). Rare early juvenile runner for top yard and he's got to be respected.
3	5 3rd (5) (2.75/1 +63%) Thia	2.75 2.75/1(+63%)	(5) Thia 2.75/1, Fourth of 6 in maiden (25/1) at Cork (5f, heavy) on debut 8 days ago. Longer trip will suit and he may well do better.
4	4 4th (4) (28/1 +65%) Rock 'N' Roll Kid	28 28/1(+65%)	(4) Rock 'N' Roll Kid 28/1, 20/1, last of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (5f) on debut 16 days ago, very green.
5th	6 5th (6) (6.5/1 +46%) Uncle Albert	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(6) Uncle Albert 6.5/1, Foaled February 21. Dragon Pulse gelding. Dam 9.4f winner from family of Hector Protector and Bosra Sham.

LTO Selection:

Thia is the pick of those with race experience having shown some encouraging signs when fourth at Cork. That said, preference is still for DEMOCRACY, who is a full-brother to last year's Oh So Sharp winner and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf fourth Midnight Mile. River Tiber, a stablemate of the selection, is an obvious threat given that he cost 480,000gns last year, while Jalaybee is bred to be quick and is another to note.

The first 6f maiden for juveniles in Ireland and Aidan O'Brien can land the spoils again with DEMOCRACY getting the vote over stablemate River Tiber. Thia could leave his debut run behind up in trip, while Dermot Weld's Jalaybee is one to note in the betting.

Aidan O'Brien saddles two of the four newcomers. The pair may dominate and perhaps RIVER TIBER will be more forward than Democracy

4	1 4th (1) (6/1 +0%) Blame Thechampagne	6 6/1(+0%)	(1) Blame Thechampagne 6/1, Foaled February 19. 30,000 gns yearling, Bungle Inthejungle filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 12.5f) Encore L'amour.
5th	4 5th (4) (1.75/1 +13%) Jenni	1.75 1.75/1(+13%)	(4) Jenni 1.75/1, Foaled January 21. 72,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m The Mackem Bullet. Lot to like on paper.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 +13%) Mary The Priest	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Mary The Priest 14/1, Foaled February 26. €6,000 foal, €14,000 yearling, Belardo filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Prince of Cool and winner up to 1¼m Verdad. Dam, 1m/8.6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f winner Master Speaker. Hood fitted.
7th	2 7th (2) (18/1 -13%) Cornahilt Soldier	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Cornahilt Soldier 18/1, 80/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 22 days ago. Will attempt to put experience to good use but more is needed.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/1 +36%) Mary Shoelaces	9 9/1(+36%)	(5) Mary Shoelaces 9/1, Foaled March 10. €30,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag filly. Closely related to winner up to 1m Declarationoflove and half-sister to 9f winner Melrose. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner.

LTO Selection:

Meditate won this race last year and went on to land a Grade 1 at the Breeders' Cup last November. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained PORTA FORTUNA could be one to follow for the upcoming turf season. She's bred to appreciate further in time on the dam's side of her pedigree, but the Caravaggio filly should not lack for speed and might be worth siding with. Jenni and Blame Thechampagne make enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check, while Cornahilt Soldier could improve on her recent C&D sixth.

JENNI's dam was a sharp 2-y-o and she represents a yard firmly among the winners so she's the way to go before market clues. Porta Fortuna and Neo Smart are also likely types on paper.

Representing a yard that has already unleashed a smart juvenile, JENNI has the pedigree to be precocious and is selected.

14:00 Curragh Maiden 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:35 Curragh Maiden 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (8/1 +11%) Bright Legend	8 8/1(+11%)	(1) Bright Legend 8/1, 25/1 and hooded, eighth of 20 in maiden at this course (7f, heavy) on debut 22 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Should improve.

3	9 3rd (9) (1.25/1 +29%) Time Tells All	1.25 1.25/1(+29%)	(9) Time Tells All 1.25/1, Promising individual. 11/4, second of 12 in maiden at Navan (8f, heavy) on debut 18 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve.

7th	2 7th (2) (6/1 -200%) Cape Bridgewater	6 6/1(-200%)	(2) Cape Bridgewater 6/1, Promising type. Second of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f, 4/1) 16 days ago. Blinkers may help him travel and he's open to further progress.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -80%) Rauzan	18 18/1(-80%)	(7) Rauzan 18/1, Twice-raced colt. 40/1, third of 10 in maiden at Dundalk (8f), needing stiffer test. Off 163 days. Up in trip. May well do better.
9th	11 9th (11) (250/1 -150%) Lilac Lady	250 250/1(-150%)	(11) Lilac Lady 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, tenth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

LTO Selection:

A stiffer stamina test looks set to suit TIME TELLS ALL and Dermot Weld's colt must hold every chance of building on a pleasing second over a mile at Navan last month. The son of Sea The Stars is very well-related and is expected to break his maiden at the second time of asking. Cape Bridgewater has filled the runner-up spot on his last two runs and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Deakin is another to bear in mind.

CAPE BRIDGEWATER looked quite hard work on reappearance but he advanced his form nonetheless and with blinkers fancied to sharpen him up, he is the most persuasive option. Deakin and Time Tells All are feared most with Young Ireland starting to look exposed.

Derby entry TIME TELLS ALL(nap) is a confident selection to go one better than his promising 1m Navan debut.

14:35 Curragh Maiden 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:10 Curragh Group 3 10f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (1.5/1 +40%) Point Lonsdale	1.5 1.5/1(+40%)	(4) Point Lonsdale 1.5/1, Leading juvenile in 2021, winning 3 Group races and second in Group 1 National Stakes here. Well held in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on his sole 3-y-o start but a potential class act on his return to action.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.25/1 +36%) Visualisation	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(6) Visualisation 2.25/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Successful in listed race (9/2) at Naas (10f, heavy) on reappearance 21 days ago, with the reopposing Self Belief 3¼ lengths back in third. Likely to go well.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 +0%) Layfayette	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Layfayette 7/1, Smart performer who won this race and the Mooresbridge over C&D last spring. His form tailed off later in the campaign but he has a good record fresh and could bounce back. 5 lb penalty demands a career best, though.
4	5 4th (5) (3.33/1 +17%) Self Belief	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(5) Self Belief 3.33/1, Come a long way in short time, winning a Leopardstown listed race last autumn on just his third start. Creditable 3¼ lengths third of 8 to reopposing Visualisation in listed event at Naas on reappearance. Entitled to come on for the run. Hood on 1st time.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 +52%) Fastnet Crown	16 16/1(+52%)	(2) Fastnet Crown 16/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. Latest win at Dundalk in December. 33/1, respectable sixteenth of 27 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Others preferred.

LTO Selection:

Point Lonsdale likely has more to offer this season now facing a stiffer test of stamina and Aidan O'Brien's lightly-raced colt isn't taken lightly on this first attempt over 1m2f. However, PIZ BADILE posted a fine runner-up effort in the Irish Derby here in June and should not have a problem handling this drop in trip. The son of Ulysses makes slightly more appeal and just shades the vote. Self Belief (third) enjoys a 3lb pull with Visualisation (first) on their recent encounter at Naas and the duo shouldn't be underestimated.

POINT LONSDALE has been absent since last year's 2000 Guineas but he was very classy at 2 and could have a bit too much for this opposition if retaining his ability. Recent Naas listed scorer Visualisation might be the one to take advantage should the selection fail to fire. Piz Badile struggled in top 3-y-o company last summer but should make more of an impact with his sights lowered on his return.

There are two potential class-acts here, and perhaps it will pay to take a chance with former Group 2-winning juvenile Point Lonsdale,

15:10 Curragh Group 3 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:45 Curragh Group 3 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (9/1 -157%) Goldana	9 9/1(-157%)	(5) Goldana 9/1, Useful filly. Won 9-runner listed race (44/10) at Hanover (8.7f, good to soft) by 6 lengths from Lacuna. Off 175 days. First run for yard after leaving Peter Schiergen. Considered.
2	6 2nd (6) (2/1 -14%) Mea Domina	2 2/1(-14%)	(6) Mea Domina 2/1, Useful filly. First run since leaving J. Reynier when encouraging 3½ lengths third of 8 to Buckaroo in listed race (5/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) on IRE debut 11 days ago. In the picture.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 +25%) Cosmic Vega	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Cosmic Vega 12/1, Useful gelding. Latest win at Naas in November. Only twentieth of 27 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy, 22/1) 22 days ago so needs to bounce back.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 +50%) Carrytheone	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(2) Carrytheone 4.5/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. 15/2, creditable eleventh of 27 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 22 days ago, running on late. Tongue strap on 1st time. Ought to be in the shake-up.
5th	7 5th (7) (7.5/1 +38%) Nightcliff	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(7) Nightcliff 7.5/1, Lightly-raced C&D winner. Very good 5¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Never Ending Story in 1000 Guineas Trial (50/1) at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 14 days ago. Not discounted.
6th	4 6th (4) (5/1 -11%) Power Under Me	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Power Under Me 5/1, Smart gelding. Two wins from 6 runs last year. Resumed with encouraging fifth of 8 to Buckaroo in listed race (6/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 11 days ago. Expected to be bang there.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 +29%) Hannibal Barca	5 5/1(+29%)	(1) Hannibal Barca 5/1, Smart colt. One win from 3 runs last year. Tongue strap on for 1st time, 5¼ lengths ninth of 10 to Bear Story in Diamond Stakes at Dundalk (10.7f, 13/2). Off 6 months. Significantly down in trip. Not ruled out.

LTO Selection:

Paddy Twomey has excelled with French recruits in the past and he looks to have another smart filly on his hands in the shape of MEA DOMINA. The daughter of Pivotal gave a bold sight from the front in the Heritage Stakes, only to be worn down late on, and this trip should prove ideal as she looks to uphold form with course winner Power Under Me (fifth). Formerly with Peter Schiergen in Germany, Goldana is one to note for market support, while her talented stablemate Hannibal Barca is not without claims either.

POWER UNDER ME holds the edge on form and should be all the better for his reappearance Leopardstown fifth so gets the vote in an open Group 3. Mea Domina made an encouraging start for her new yard when third in the same contest so rates a big threat, while the Joseph O'Brien trained-duo Goldana and Hannibal Barca must enter calculations too.

French import MEA DOMINA made a bright start to her Irish career at Leopardstown and may uphold form Power Under Me

15:45 Curragh Group 3 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:20 Curragh Handicap 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (10/1 -11%) Hurricane Ivor	10 10/1(-11%)	(3) Hurricane Ivor 10/1, First run since leaving William Haggas when creditable third of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Cork (5f, heavy) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Return to 6f will suit so he's one to take seriously.
2	12 2nd (12) (4.5/1 +25%) Swift Flight	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(12) Swift Flight 4.5/1, 11/2, respectable 2 lengths third of 11 to Laugh A Minute in handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Can make presence felt given he looks well worth another try at 6f.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 -9%) Laugh A Minute	6 6/1(-9%)	(4) Laugh A Minute 6/1, 4/1, won 11-runner handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 22 days ago. Fit and in form, which may count form plenty.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +52%) Aljady	16 16/1(+52%)	(9) Aljady 16/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Tongue strap on for 1st time, 4½ lengths seventh of 11 to Laugh A Minute in handicap (20/1) at this course (5f, heavy) 22 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time.
5th	2 5th (2) (28/1 -155%) Gustavus Weston	28 28/1(-155%)	(2) Gustavus Weston 28/1, Three-time C&D winner. Bit below form 6¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Moss Tucker in listed race at this C&D (heavy, 8/1). Off 175 days.
6th	14 6th (14) (4.5/1 +31%) Tawaazon	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(14) Tawaazon 4.5/1, 11/10, won 10-runner handicap at Bellewstown (5f, heavy) 10 days ago, cosily. This is a deeper race but he may have more to offer for this yard.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 -11%) Earls	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Earls 10/1, Four wins from 10 runs last year. 15/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 5¼ lengths eighth of 11 to Laugh A Minute in handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 22 days ago. Expected to be bang there.
8th	1 8th (1) (22/1 -100%) Big Gossey	22 22/1(-100%)	(1) Big Gossey 22/1, C&D winner. Twenty fifth of 27 in handicap (40/1) at this course (8f, heavy) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on and should run closer to form this time.
9th	10 9th (10) (4/1 +11%) Magical Vision	4 4/1(+11%)	(10) Magical Vision 4/1, Promising type. Two wins from 3 runs last year. 6/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Naas (5.9f, heavy) 21 days ago, just holding on. Open to further improvement given her profile.
10th	11 10th (11) (28/1 -40%) Majestic Colt	28 28/1(-40%)	(11) Majestic Colt 28/1, 33/1, excellent third of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 11 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Has work to do.
11th	13 11th (13) (7.5/1 +46%) Downforce	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(13) Downforce 7.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy, 11/2) 8 days ago.
12th	7 12th (7) (16/1 +20%) Verhoyen	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Verhoyen 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 7¾ lengths ninth of 11 to Laugh A Minute in handicap (18/1) at this course (5f, heavy) 22 days ago. Blinkers back on.
13th	5 13th (5) (80/1 -300%) Master Matt	80 80/1(-300%)	(5) Master Matt 80/1, Course winner. Fifteenth of 16 in handicap at this course (5f, good to soft, 18/1). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Matthew J. Smith. Merits consideration if market vibes are positive.

LTO Selection:

A few of these clashed over five furlongs here last month and it would come as no surprise to see DOWNFORCE (fifth) reverse that form with Laugh A Minute (winner) and Swift Flight (third) over this longer trip. The selection is a dual C&D winner under similar conditions and has gone well for Jessica Maye before. Big Gossey also appeals back at this distance having faced a much stiffer test the Irish Lincolnshire 22 days ago.

MAGICAL VISION only seems to do enough when in front which is enabling her to stay ahead of the assessor. This lightly-raced 6-y-o may have even more to offer so is fancied to complete the hat-trick, albeit in a competitive race. Earls, Hurricane Ivor and Tawaazon are just a trio of potential threats.

Though he is 4lb out of the handicap, TAWAAZON is still 11lb below his AW rating and has the assistance of a fine 5lb claimer.

LTO Selection:

Just the two runnings of this race have seen winners at 80/1 and 12/1 and with a long list of unknown quantities and potential improvers to deal with, all things seems possible. Despite that, there are two standout contenders in Run Ran Run, second on both his starts and only beaten a neck and a short head, and DESERT HAVEN. Noel Meade's colt was just a head behind Run Ran Run when third at Naas, despite taking a bump close home, and could be considered an unlucky loser. The rest look equally matched, but Roaming Star may have the most potential for improvement.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and RUN RAN RUN is confidently expected to build on his promising recent Naas second and open his account. Desert Haven is more experienced and has the form to play a part too with Jessica Harrington's newcomer First Gentleman not discounted either, especially if there is a market move in his favour.

On form this looks between RUN RAN RUN and Desert Haven. The former is preferred, as he has only had two runs.

LTO Selection:

A new headgear combination seemed to revitalise RUN FORREST RUN over C&D on his reappearance, when his late flourish went narrowly unrewarded. He's still well treated compared to his old form, despite a 4lb hike, and with testing conditions again in his favour, he may take some stopping. The unexposed Senado Square is an obvious danger, despite picking up a 9lb rise for a clear-cut win at Naas. Secret Road, Ecclesiastical and Let's Believe also have enough in their profile to warrant an interest.

SENADO SQUARE is a 3-y-o going the right way and can make light of a 9 lb rise for Naas. Billy Lee takes over in the saddle on Run Forrest Run who should go well on the back of a solid reappearance effort over C&D 3 weeks ago. Ecclesiastical responded well to the refitting of a visor last time and is also on the shortlist along with Johnny Murtagh handicap newcomer Starnight.

Dick Brabazon's runner LET'S BELIEVE was second in this event last year and gets the vote to build on her Navan return

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.
