Eric Lock should have learned plenty from his debut fourth over 5f at Dundalk last month and the son of Advertise looks sure to improve for this step up in distance. However, the Aidan O'Brien-trained RIGHT AND TRUE could have too much class for these rivals. He ticks plenty of the right boxes on his pedigree and may open his account this afternoon en route to bigger things. Market support for fellow newcomers Elzem and Real Life would also be interesting.

MOUNT PARNASSUS caught the eye on debut over C&D recently, and is open to considerable improvement, so might be worth chancing in a very well-contested maiden. There's several interesting newcomers in opposition, headed by Right And True and Barnavara

Joseph O'Brien may take this with ELZEM,, a brother to Group 1-winning filly Champers Elysees

13:15 Curragh Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Curragh Listed 5f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (5/6 +45%) Whistlejacket	0.833333 5/6(+45%)	(5) Whistlejacket 5/6, 500,000 gns yearling. Brother to very smart 5f/6f (including Phoenix Stakes at 2 yrs) winner Little Big Bear (beaten here on debut and won second time out). Evens, second of 11 in maiden at this course (6f, heavy) on debut 15 days ago, clear of rest. Down in trip and sure to improve. Beaten favourite over 6f on debut at this course; the drop in trip should suit; big player.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 -6%) Arizona Blaze	2 2/1(-6%)	(1) Arizona Blaze 2/1, £82,000 yearling. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Sailthisshipalone and 1m winner Dreaming Spires. Dam 1¼m winner out of useful 1½m-1¾m winner Jane Austen. 5/4, won 8-runner maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 49 days ago, with Monotone third. Sure to progress and win more races. Made a big impression when winning over C&D on the opening day of the season; hard to beat.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -25%) Monotone	20 20/1(-25%)	(3) Monotone 20/1, Verbal Dexterity colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m winner Wexford Native and 7f winner Theodorico. Behind Arizona Blaze here on debut then won 6-runner maiden at Cork (5f, heavy, 11/4) 37 days ago. More to come. Beaten 6.25l on debut over C&D behind Arizona Blaze; won at Cork since; get closer today.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 +44%) Gran Habano	14 14/1(+44%)	(2) Gran Habano 14/1, Foaled January 11. 120,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Nancy From Nairobi. Represents same connections as Arizona Blaze and stiff task for debut. Seems yard second-string and would have to be very smart to win this on debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 -100%) Morning Vietnam	8 8/1(-100%)	(4) Morning Vietnam 8/1, £17,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle colt. Half-brother to winner up to 11.6f Azor Ahai and 5f-6f winner Astapor. 13/8, won 9-runner maiden at Dundalk (5f) on debut 41 days ago, easily. Will improve. An impressive winner over 5f on debut at Dundalk; will have to step up a fair bit.

A winner on the opening day of the season, ARIZONA BLAZE can maintain his unbeaten record for trainer Adrian Murray. The third horse, Monotone, went on to give that particular form a boost when successful at Cork on his next start. With his ability to handle testing conditions not in question, Murray's colt can make it two wins from two under David Egan. Dundalk maiden winner Morning Vietnam looked a very useful prospect when easily going in at the first time of asking, but the Michael O'Callaghan-trained colt faces an altogether different set of conditions here. Whistlejacket, who showed plenty of early speed on his debut over 6f, should appreciate dropping back a furlong now.

A hot renewal of this listed contest with WHISTLEJACKET taken to emulate his distinguished brother Little Big Bear and make his second outing a winning one having been beaten in the same 6f maiden here on debut. Arizona Blaze and Morning Vietnam made successful starts and seem sure to improve also.

Having impressed when winning here on the opening day of the season, with Monotone in third, ARIZONA BLAZE can win again.

14:25 Curragh Listed 8f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (16/1 -146%) Bright Stripes	16 16/1(-146%)	(1) Bright Stripes 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. 22½ lengths last of 8 to Battle Cry in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial (6/1)on reappearance (7.1f, heavy) 29 days ago. Hard to fancy after that. Beaten 22l by Samuel Colt on return at Leopardstown and obvious questions to answer now.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 -95%) Norwalk Havoc	6.5 13/2(-95%)	(3) Norwalk Havoc 13/2, Won Leopardstown maiden (8f, heavy) and Gowran conditions race (7f, heavy) last month. Capable of better again and can make his mark at this higher level. Won a 7f Gowran conditions race last time; further improvement likely and can run well.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/11 +37%) Samuel Colt	0.363636 4/11(+37%)	(4) Samuel Colt 4/11, Promising individual. Course winner on debut last autumn. 4/1, ½-length second of 8 to Battle Cry in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial (7.1f, heavy) on return 29 days ago, clear of rest. The one to beat. Maiden winner here; runner-up in a Group 3 at Leopardstown over 7f on return; one to beat.
4	2 4th (2) (6/1 +40%) Ecureuil Secret	6 6/1(+40%)	(2) Ecureuil Secret 6/1, Won 11-runner maiden (15/2) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) on debut 29 days ago, responding well. Useful prospect. Made a stylish winning debut over this trip at Leopardstown; can have improved from that.
5th	5 5th (5) (80/1 -60%) Elegant Madame	80 80/1(-60%)	(5) Elegant Madame 80/1, Thrice-raced winner. 5/2, fourth of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis. Previously held at this level and is rated only 75, so has plenty to find on stable debut.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained SAMUEL COLT should appreciate this easier assignment having run really well when runner-up in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on his reappearance. The form of his two-year-old maiden win at this venue last October has been well advertised subsequently. Bright Stripes finished a long way behind Samuel Colt in that aforementioned Leopardstown race but that was almost certainly not his true running. Andy Oliver's colt had some very smart form in decent company as a juvenile, so is worth another chance to prove himself. Norwalk Havoc needs to improve on what he has done to date but the Jessica Harrington-trained gelding won't be easily passed if getting to the front early on.

Aidan O'Brien took this last year with Paddington en route to Group 1 glory and SAMUEL COLT looks yet another smart prospect for the Ballydoyle handler after his encouraging second in a Leopardstown Group 3 last month. Norwalk Havoc looks a 3-y-o of some potential himself and is the obvious danger.

SAMUEL COLT can go one better than on his seasonal debut when runner-up in a Leopardstown Group 3.

14:25 Curragh Listed 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:00 Curragh Handicap 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (9/1 +10%) Asian Daze	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Asian Daze 9/1, C&D winner. Off 7 months. Returns with yard in good form and wouldn't dismiss under 10 lb claimer. Won a Gowran maiden before a C&D nursery score last year; below form on AW after; chance.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -11%) Sluice	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(1) Sluice 10/3, Won at Down Royal on debut in September. 10/1, third of 12 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy) on return 43 days ago. That form looks strong and she can do better still. Maiden winner last year ran respectably in a Group 3 after; not a bad return and a player.
3	6 3rd (6) (8/1 +20%) Neo Smart	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Neo Smart 8/1, Winner at Dundalk in November. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Naas (7f, heavy, 18/1) on return 43 days ago. Dundalk maiden winner last winter but was well beaten on return and loads more needed.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 -33%) Madame Plaintiff	4 4/1(-33%)	(8) Madame Plaintiff 4/1, 5/1, much improved when winning 13-runner handicap at Gowran (7f, soft) on return 12 days ago under this rider. Still favourably treated after 9 lb rise. Improved form to win a Gowran h'cap on return over this trip; tougher task up 9lb.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -32%) Straya	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Straya 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) 23 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Plenty to find on form. Two decent 2yo runs but below that over 1m2f at Dundalk last twice; loads more needed.
6th	3 6th (3) (20/1 -43%) Ribchestina	20 20/1(-43%)	(3) Ribchestina 20/1, Lightly-raced winner. Third of 5 in minor event at Gowran (7f, heavy, 20/1) 13 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Good 2yo form last year before disappointing; not a bad return but has to improve from it.
7th	9 7th (9) (7/2 +22%) Pepper Noir	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(9) Pepper Noir 7/2, Winner at Dundalk in February. 5/1, creditable fifth of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Enters calculations. Dundalk maiden winner over 1m ran a belter in a C&D h'cap last time; go well again.
8th	7 8th (7) (9/1 -50%) Salah Belle	9 9/1(-50%)	(7) Salah Belle 9/1, Calyx filly. Half-sister to useful 7f winner Bellosa and 2-y-o 5f winner Not For Profit. 33/1, won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (6f) on debut, driven out. Off 136 days. Entitled to improve now handicapping. The form of her Dundalk maiden win last winter was franked since; interesting on turf bow.
9th	10 9th (10) (9/1 +10%) Glimmerglass	9 9/1(+10%)	(10) Glimmerglass 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut. Should progress. Unplaced in three maidens last year but one to watch in market on h'cap debut.
10th	4 10th (4) (25/1 -79%) Glamorously	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) Glamorously 25/1, Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 28/1) 7 days ago. Won sprint nurseries at Navan and Naas last season but not as good in two recent starts.

Madrid Handicap third SLUICE could prove well treated off just a 1lb higher mark. The runner-up in that Naas contest has won subsequently, while the fourth has been placed in both Listed and Group 3 races. Meeting nothing of that calibre here, Joseph O'Brien's filly can give the weight away. Pepper Noir made a pleasing turf debut when fifth against her elders over course and distance last month. The Gavin Cromwell-trained filly should be suited to a race restricted to her own sex and age group. Glimmerglass catches the eye towards the foot of the weights, as the maiden in which the John Feane-trained filly finished seventh here last back-end has been well franked in recent weeks.

MADAME PLAINTIFF ran out a ready winner on her handicap debut at Gowran a fortnight ago and even a 9 lb rise could prove lenient. She can follow up. Sluice and Asian Daze are two of the dangers.

Having run a fine race behind a well-handicapped rival in the Madrid Handicap on return, SLUICE can show the benefit of that.

15:00 Curragh Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:35 Curragh Group 3 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (16/1 -129%) Gregarina	16 16/1(-129%)	(3) Gregarina 16/1, Useful mare. 5½ lengths seventh of 16 to Al Agaila in listed race (55/10) at Deauville (7.4f). Off 159 days. First run for yard after leaving Fabrice Chappet. Wears hood. Listed winner and Group 3 second over 1m at Deauville, 7f may be sharper than ideal.
2	8 2nd (8) (17/2 -21%) You Send Me	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(8) You Send Me 17/2, Lightly-raced winner. 11/4, respectable 3½ lengths fourth of 9 to Easy in listed race at Cork (6f, heavy) 37 days ago. Others more persuasive. Useful 1m form at three, should be better for first outing of the season over 6f at Cork.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 +18%) Doom	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(2) Doom 9/2, Useful filly. Career best when winning 17-runner listed race at Fontainebleau (7f, soft, 33/10) when last seen in November. Could be more to come at 4 yrs. Respected British raider. 7f Listed winner in France at three, needs to improve to feature here but that is feasible.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 -60%) Magical Sunset	12 12/1(-60%)	(1) Magical Sunset 12/1, Useful filly. First run since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis when below form 8¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Brilliant in Park Express Stakes (16/1) at this course (8f, heavy) 49 days ago. Group 3 winner in Britain, vulnerable at 1m, respected back in trip after Curragh run.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/4 +45%) Jumbly	1.5 6/4(+45%)	(4) Jumbly 6/4, Useful mare. 7/4, shaped as if better for run when 2¾ lengths second of 6 to Yosemite Valley in Gladness Stakes on C&D reappearance (heavy) 15 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Yet to win for this stable but has a good chance now if improving from seasonal debut.
6th	10 6th (10) (12/1 +33%) Wide With Delight	12 12/1(+33%)	(10) Wide With Delight 12/1, Won 10-runner maiden at Cork (7f, heavy, 20/1) on debut 37 days ago, cosily. Trainer going well. Should progress. Beat an 82-rated filly at Cork, faces sharp rise in class against experienced older rivals.
7th	9 7th (9) (8/1 +6%) Bluedrum	8 8/1(+6%)	(9) Bluedrum 8/1, 6/1, won 9-runner maiden at Naas (7f, good to soft) on debut, forging clear. Off 7 months. Capable of better but pitched in at deep end on reappearance. Debut 7f maiden winner, faces several seasoned campaigners, will need to be smart.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/1 -20%) Vain Gloria	9 9/1(-20%)	(6) Vain Gloria 9/1, Won Killarney maiden and conditions race at Cork (both 8f) last July. More will be needed to stretch her unbeaten record to 3 but she looks a useful prospect. Unbeaten in two starts over 1m at three, given plenty of time to mature, could progress.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -344%) Valpolicella	40 40/1(-344%)	(7) Valpolicella 40/1, Useful mare. 13/4, 4½ lengths seventh of 12 to La Gite in Premio Lydia Tesio at Rome (9.9f, good). Off 6 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Henk Grewe. Can make presence felt. Former German-trained mare, Listed winner over 1m2f on good, trip may be a bit sharp.
10th	5 10th (5) (100/1 -100%) Purple Love	100 100/1(-100%)	(5) Purple Love 100/1, Lightly-raced winner. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 6/1). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Very hard to make a case for. 79-rated stablemate of the 104-rated Musical Sunset, looks out of her depth on Irish debut.

Although she would most likely prefer a sounder surface, JUMBLY shaped well enough when runner-up on soft-heavy ground here on her reappearance to suggest she can go one better now. With the benefit of that run under her belt, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly should strip fitter, while the ground is probably not going to be as stamina-sapping. The Fozzy Stack-trained You Send Me reverts to what is arguably her optimum distance having raced over both 6f and a mile of late. The four-year-old should have no difficulty coping with ground conditions. As well as Jumbly, trainer Joseph O'Brien looks to have a particularly strong hand with Gregarina and Valpolicella also capable of featuring.

JUMBLY should be sharper with her reappearance in the Gladness behind her and can resume winning ways under Ryan Moore. Her new stablemate Valpolicella, a listed winner in Germany, may give her most to do ahead of the William Haggas-trained Doom and Paddy Twomey's unbeaten filly Vain Gloria.

Ryan Moore takes the ride on JUMBLY who started the season with a pleasing C&D second and can record her first win for Joseph O'Brien

15:35 Curragh Group 3 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:10 Curragh Group 2 10f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +43%) White Birch	2 2/1(+43%)	(4) White Birch 2/1, Smart colt. 1 win from 1 run this year. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner Alleged Stakes on C&D reappearance (heavy, 10/3) 16 days ago by neck from Maxux, driven out. Shouldn't be much between them again. Dual Grup 3 winner, including on return over C&D; should make a very bold bid.
2	3 2nd (3) (20/1 -43%) Lord Massusus	20 20/1(-43%)	(3) Lord Massusus 20/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Creditable length third of 6 to Goldana in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 11/2) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Beaten 1l by Goldana on return, giving her 10lb; can run well if staying this new trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 +31%) Greenland	11 11/1(+31%)	(2) Greenland 11/1, Smart colt. 13½ lengths seventh of 10 to White Birch in Alleged Stakes (11/2) C&D reappearance (heavy) 16 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Very disappointing on return over C&D behind White Birch and has to bounce back.
4	7 4th (7) (10/3 +17%) Village Voice	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(7) Village Voice 10/3, Smart filly. Latest win at Saint-Cloud in October. Very good ¾-length third of 10 to White Birch in Alleged Stakes (4/1) at this C&D (heavy) 16 days ago. Is 3lb better off for a 3/4l defeat by White Birch on return; be little between them today.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/8 +51%) Maxux	1.625 13/8(+51%)	(6) Maxux 13/8, Lightly-raced winner. Very good neck second of 10 to White Birch in Alleged Stakes on C&D reappearance (heavy) 16 days ago. Should go well. Just a neck behind White Birch over C&D on return; 3lb better off today, so a big chance.

Epsom Derby third WHITE BIRCH can continue his revival by adding to his recent C&D win. The John Joseph Murphy-trained colt ran below-par in the Irish Derby last July and again failed to show his true form when beaten in Group 3 class at Leopardstown on his final start. However, there was plenty to like about his winning reappearance at this track last month. Elegant Man is a fascinating contender for Adrian Murray on his first start on turf. The four-year-old put up a hugely impressive weight-carrying performance when winning at Newcastle over Easter but has yet to race on grass. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Maxux looks best of the remainder.

ELEGANT MAN produced a really smart handicap performance to defy top weight in an ultra-competitive affair at Newcastle over Easter and can take the step up to Group level in his stride if proving as effective on turf. Recent Alleged Stakes 1-2 White Birch and Maxux can give Adrian Murray's charge most to do.

MAXUX is 3lb better off with White Birch for a neck defeat in the Alleged Stakes over C&D last time and can exact revenge.

16:45 Curragh Handicap 7f - 20 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (33/1 -65%) Orandi	33 33/1(-65%)	(1) Orandi 33/1, 16/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 26 days ago, missing break. Uphill task. Five-time winner in France, only one of his four Irish runs provides any encouragement.
2	14 2nd (14) (20/1 +39%) Shawaamekh	20 20/1(+39%)	(14) Shawaamekh 20/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, sixteenth of 19 in handicap at this course (5.9f, heavy). Off 6 months. Veteran can go well when fresh, that gives him a realistic chance, best at this trip.
3	18 3rd (18) (20/1 +20%) Arch Enemy	20 20/1(+20%)	(18) Arch Enemy 20/1, Course winner. 14/1, respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) on reappearance 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. All three turf wins on good ground though not a bad run on soft at Gowran 13 days ago.
4	15 4th (15) (14/1 -87%) Alessia Fernanda	14 14/1(-87%)	(15) Alessia Fernanda 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in maiden (7/1) at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft). Off 10 months. Makes handicap debut. Much less exposed than most of these. Lightly raced filly, possibly well enough handicapped but may need a sound surface.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 +18%) Loingseoir	33 33/1(+18%)	(6) Loingseoir 33/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourteenth of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 50/1) 15 days ago. Consistent last year without winning, has been a long way below his best this season.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +33%) Come On The Lads	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Come On The Lads 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 23 in maiden (13/2) at this course (8f, heavy) 16 days ago, never nearer. Less exposed than a lot of these. Not a bad effort when fifth in a maiden here last time, though that was not a strong race.
7th	3 7th (3) (15/2 -88%) El Bello	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(3) El Bello 15/2, Unreliable individual. Latest win at Dundalk in April. 28/1, very good second of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Can give a good account. Second of 25 behind Zephron over C&D last month makes him a very strong contender.
8th	10 8th (10) (9/1 -29%) Superior Force	9 9/1(-29%)	(10) Superior Force 9/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, bit below form tenth of 23 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 49 days ago but had been placed twice on AW prior to that. Capable of bouncing back. Good placed form at Dundalk before a slightly disappointing run over 1m here in March.
9th	9 9th (9) (9/1 -29%) Racing Royalty	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Racing Royalty 9/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 9/2) on reappearance 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Respected with that behind him. Two wins last autumn including C&D, may improve enough from seasonal debut to feature.
10th	11 10th (11) (12/1 -118%) Mogwli	12 12/1(-118%)	(11) Mogwli 12/1, Course winner. Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 13/2) 26 days ago. Yard having good spell. Looks competitive on form. Needs to improve on two Leopardstown runs, started the season well with second over C&D.
11th	16 11th (16) (150/1 -127%) Rochester Mike	150 150/1(-127%)	(16) Rochester Mike 150/1, 80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when twentieth of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Runner-up to Paddington in a maiden here two seasons ago, has failed to build on that run.
12th	8 12th (8) (33/1 -32%) Encosta	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Encosta 33/1, Eighteenth of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 14/1) on reappearance 15 days ago. Should be sharper now. Placed form in handicaps at Leopardstown (twice) last July, probably wants better ground.
13th	20 13th (20) (14/1 -40%) Rattletheonionbag	14 14/1(-40%)	(20) Rattletheonionbag 14/1, 20/1, bit below form ninth of 27 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy) 15 days ago. Booking of Kennedy a plus. Two 6f outings at this venue this season have been encouraging, more needed though.
14th	2 14th (2) (9/1 +18%) Zabeir	9 9/1(+18%)	(2) Zabeir 9/1, Fifteenth of 22 in handicap (20/1) at this course (8f, good). Off 8 months. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Is 0-12 on turf, third at this venue on two occasions last season, needs to find extra.
15th	12 15th (12) (150/1 -127%) Takeachancejimmy	150 150/1(-127%)	(12) Takeachancejimmy 150/1, Course winner. Twenty first of 22 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 100/1). Off 6 months. Seven-time winner, in rear over C&D on only start last season, best watched for now.
16th	17 16th (17) (10/1 +60%) Rock Etoile	10 10/1(+60%)	(17) Rock Etoile 10/1, Below form eleventh of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 14/1) on reappearance 29 days ago. Should come on for the run. Consistent last season, 2-25 turf record is not good enough to inspire strong confidence.
17th	13 17th (13) (11/2 +27%) Secret Magician	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(13) Secret Magician 11/2, Course winner. Below form thirteenth of 21 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy, 9/2) 16 days ago. Had shaped well on reappearance prior to that. Both wins have come over 6f at this venue; shaped well at Cork before poor 6f run here.
18th	19 18th (19) (28/1 +15%) Shimmerz	28 28/1(+15%)	(19) Shimmerz 28/1, C&D winner. 66/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 166 days. Significantly back down in trip. Must improve. Long-priced winner of this race 12 months ago, that seems to have been a flash in the pan.
19th	4 19th (4) (50/1 -100%) Rhythm King	50 50/1(-100%)	(4) Rhythm King 50/1, 16/1, last of 21 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Soundly beaten on final two starts in 2023, has suffered the same fate twice this season.
20th	7 20th (7) (125/1 -150%) Out On Friday	125 125/1(-150%)	(7) Out On Friday 125/1, Last of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Galway (8.3f, heavy). Off 6 months. Won at Tramore last September; out of form in latter stages of the campaign.

C&D winner RACING ROYALTY should have every chance of adding to his win here last October. The Gillian Scott-trained five-year-old travelled well throughout that contest before keeping on strongly once challenged close home. The five-year-old should be all the better for a recent run at Leopardstown where he finished fifth. Secret Magician, who was ahead of Racing Royalty over 6f here last season, has every chance despite being slightly worse off at the revised weights. The Martin Hassett-trained gelding should be approaching peak fitness after two previous starts this term. El Bello, runner-up over this track and trip last month, is another who holds leading claims.

SUPERIOR FORCE has been given a bit of time since his below-par run here in March (found to be coughing post race) and might be worth another chance as his AW efforts prior to that had been promising. El Bello ran a blinder over C&D last month and is second choice ahead of Racing Royalty and the unexposed Come On The Lads.

This looks open but it may be worth taking a chance with C&D winner RACING ROYALTY who should be better for a Leopardstown run.

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, excellent second of 27 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) on return 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has to be taken seriously. Second in a 27-runner contest over C&D, losing out by only a short head, leading chance.
2	17 2nd (17) (25/1 +0%) The Bear Trap	25 25/1(+0%)	(17) The Bear Trap 25/1, Unreliable individual. Respectable third of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Dundalk (6f) 31 days ago. Solid AW display when third over this trip a month ago, might prefer better going.
3	11 3rd (11) (18/1 +28%) Tai Sing Yeh	18 18/1(+28%)	(11) Tai Sing Yeh 18/1, Nineteenth of 21 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft, 8/1) 9 days ago, very slowly away. Chance on old form. Hampered, unable to feature in Navan race in which Loma Larnee and Sevensees were placed.
4	2 4th (2) (22/1 +12%) Mount Ruapehu	22 22/1(+12%)	(2) Mount Ruapehu 22/1, Latest win at Dundalk in January. 10/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below form tenth of 21 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Appears well held by the placed horses Loma Larnee and Sevensees on Nvan running.

6th	15 6th (15) (8/1 +20%) Downforce	8 8/1(+20%)	(15) Downforce 8/1, C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 27 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (heavy) 15 days ago. Stable in good form. Ought to go close. Fifth of 27 here last month, not much between him and runner-up Pinar Del Rio..
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 +14%) Universally	6 6/1(+14%)	(6) Universally 6/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in September. Good third of 22 in handicap (9/1) at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 6 months ago. Claims if ready to roll with Colin Keane up. In good form in the latter part of last season, interesting here with Colin Keane booked.
8th	5 8th (5) (13/2 +13%) Rathbranchurch	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(5) Rathbranchurch 13/2, One win from 22 Flat runs. 4/1, respectable seventh of 21 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Fifth of 21 over C&D, failed to reproduce that form in a Navan race, can do better.
9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 -20%) Run Forrest Run	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Run Forrest Run 12/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy, 14/1) 37 days ago. Probably needed that and won this last year. Won twice over 6f last term, here and at Cork, should be better for his comeback.

That was a good reappearance but tough one to go overboard about given her previous indiscretions (has refused to race). Fine second at Navan nine days ago, renews rivalry with Sevensees and Rathbranchurch.

RATHBRANCHCHURCH ran slightly below par at Navan last time but on his previous fifth over this C&D, the Michael Mulvany-trained gelding has every chance. A high draw tends to prove advantageous on the sprint track here, so having bagged the plum rails stall, Wesley Joyce will be confident. Sevensees has to be of serious interest with Ben Coen taking over in the saddle. The Johnny Murtagh-trained four-year-old went close at Navan last month on just his second handicap run and there could be more to come. Universally is another who can get involved, with Colin Keane a notable booking for the grey sprinter.

PINAR DEL RIO was edged out late on here a fortnight ago and is clearly well treated if in the same sort of form. Veteran Downforce and Sevensees are among the dangers.

Navan form points to Loma Larnee and Sevensees but they may not cope with RATHBRANCHURCH, better judged on his seasonal debut

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.
