1	1 1st (1) (5/4 +23%) Trustyourinstinct		1.25 5/4(+23%)																															(1) Trustyourinstinct 5/4, Smart performer whose best form is slightly above Listed level though penalty here evens that out a bit; good latest Gr 2 third, albeit had fitness on his side; leading player. Group 3 winner last term; as good as ever when 3rd over 1m2f latest; gives weight to all.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +33%) Romzina		5 5/1(+33%)																															(7) Romzina 5/1, Raced freely at Gowran Park last time on reappearance (1m6f; still ran to form); lightly-raced filly who was twice Listed-placed at 1m4f last season; needs a career-best. Followed Cork win with 2 placed efforts last autumn at Listed level; too keen on return.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 +33%) Magical Hope		4 4/1(+33%)																															(4) Magical Hope 4/1, Triple winner (1m1f-1m3f) on the Continent when trained in France last year; cost 500,000euros in December; new, in-form yard need to have squeezed out a bit more if she's to win this. Listed winner in Germany; needs to take form to new level to compete here; new trip.
4	9 4th (9) (10/3 +17%) Siege Of Troy		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(9) Siege Of Troy 10/3, Bit below form over inadequate 9.5f on seasonal debut; that counts as a satisfactory return and big player here on such as last August's fourth in a 12f Cork Gr 3. Course winner; placed at Listed level in US and return was encouraging.
5th	2 5th (2) (80/1 -300%) Masoun		80 80/1(-300%)																															(2) Masoun 80/1, Useful handicapper who looked on the verge of peaking last time; tongue-tie first time; up in trip; lot to find. Won back-to-back last summer inc' C&D success; back to form latest but has plenty to find.
6th	3 6th (3) (33/1 -175%) San Salvador		33 33/1(-175%)																															(3) San Salvador 33/1, Versatile 9yo who made winning return to the Flat in minor 1m6f race (made all) latest; that looks decent form and 2 from 3 in this sphere but this still demands more. Dual-purpose performer; career-best latest over 1m6f but still plenty to find here.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 -100%) Riviera Queen		40 40/1(-100%)																															(6) Riviera Queen 40/1, Ran to form at Gowran Park last time on reappearance; return to 1m4f now may help; has good bit to find on balance. Just maiden win to her name and this looks tough for the grade.

13:55 Curragh (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

TRUSTYOURINSTINCT sets the standard with a rating of 109. He's a very consistent horse who landed a Group 3 over this trip at Leopardstown in September. He wasn't far behind the market leaders in third in a Group 2 over 1m2f here earlier this month, which was a creditable performance. Paddy Twomey's stable is in red-hot form and Magical Hope is a very interesting contender on her first start for him. She won at Listed level in Germany and the fact she holds a Group 1 entry at this track next month looks highly significant. Siege Of Troy was very strong in the market on her seasonal reappearance at Gowran Park before finishing fourth. She is not one to underestimate.

After a big run here last time, TRUSTYOURINSTINCT (nap) has a class edge over these and can improve again back at his preferred trip

1	8 1st (8) (9/1 +18%) Apercu		9 9/1(+18%)																															(8) Apercu 9/1, Latest bit below-par run in Listed race raises questions as to whether she needs slower ground; Cork winner two starts ago and each-way claims if she's back in top form. C&D winner; best runs with cut in the ground; recent winner before lesser Gowran run.
2	11 2nd (11) (6/1 +20%) Cloud Seeker		6 6/1(+20%)																															(11) Cloud Seeker 6/1, Continues to progress well, last time making it five wins in last six starts with narrow 1m2f Leopardstown success; up in grade and the weights (4lb) but much respected. Highly progressive winning 5 of last 6 and only defeat came on reappearance; 4lb rise fair.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 +10%) Star Harbour		18 18/1(+10%)																															(2) Star Harbour 18/1, Reliable sort who was sound fourth in this last year; ran well enough at Cork last time to suggest he'll be in peak form today; shortlisted. Gained 3 wins last year and back to form latest; down to a workable h'cap mark.
4	13 4th (13) (16/1 -33%) Ceallach		16 16/1(-33%)																															(13) Ceallach 16/1, No doubting that he's better on the AW but went close to a first win on turf at Leopardstown last time and very much a leading player if he can run to the same level again. 5-time AW winner; cracking run behind Cloud Seeker; best form at 1m4f but not ruled out.
5th	15 5th (15) (10/1 +50%) Retracement		10 10/1(+50%)																															(15) Retracement 10/1, Fairly useful for William Haggas last season; 24,000gns purchase; lightly-raced possible improver as a 4yo now; bold show wouldn't surprise. Pontefract maiden winner; 2nd on h'cap debut back there when last seen; may need this.
6th	10 6th (10) (40/1 +20%) Soaring Monarch		40 40/1(+20%)																															(10) Soaring Monarch 40/1, Probably needed the race when down the field here (1m) in March; 1m2f now is more suitable but bit to prove overall. Won from 2lb lower in Sept' but tailed off on return and may want a bit further.
7th	5 7th (5) (6/1 +50%) Mashhoor		6 6/1(+50%)																															(5) Mashhoor 6/1, Probably needed race at Cork most recent; goes well here; last season was a washout but has come down in the weights and this is a good mark if he could revive and refind 2023 form. Struggled last term with tough assignments; didn't give impression turn was near on return.
8th	14 8th (14) (12/1 -33%) Dutch Gold		12 12/1(-33%)																															(14) Dutch Gold 12/1, Didn't get a clear run when close fifth over 12f at Cork last time; cheekpieces first time; C&D winner in 2023; fast ground would be an unknown but interesting off good mark otherwise. Losing run since C&D success on testing ground in 2023; stayed on well latest.
9th	6 9th (6) (9/2 -29%) Himalayan Heights		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(6) Himalayan Heights 9/2, Taking winner on reappearance at Leopardstown (1m2f) last month; up in grade and the weights (8lb) but very much respected. Went close on h'cap debut last season and bounced back to form on this year's return.
10th	18 10th (18) (40/1 +0%) Cheers Again		40 40/1(+0%)																															(18) Cheers Again 40/1, Very patchy in last few runs, last time well held at Naas; there's also a significant stamina question at 10f; others preferred. 3 wins on AW but 0-15 on turf; stamina to prove at this trip and well below form this term.
11th	12 11th (12) (22/1 -57%) Zoffman		22 22/1(-57%)																															(12) Zoffman 22/1, Well held in most recent hurdling run while he was down the field in this last year and probably now needs further; good mark though, 3lb lower than when second at Cork (12f) in June. Promising start to life over timber since last seen on Flat; all best Flat form over 1m4f+.
12th	9 12th (9) (33/1 +0%) Final Voyage		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Final Voyage 33/1, Ran okay on Newcastle AW last time; cheekpieces tried there are left off now; bit to find overall on this now rare turf run and 10f stamina isn't conclusively proven either. 7-time AW winner yet to score on turf; respectable runs in defeat lately; stamina to prove.
13th	16 13th (16) (50/1 -79%) Mr Rango		50 50/1(-79%)																															(16) Mr Rango 50/1, Down the field back on the Flat and returning from a short break last time; slower ground would probably suit better; others preferred. 4th in this last season; recent return wasn't encouraging; 5lb lower but wants it slower.
14th	3 14th (3) (5/1 +50%) Aeronautic		5 5/1(+50%)																															(3) Aeronautic 5/1, Off since August, having been gelded in the interim; pretty useful 3yo and still lightly raced so not ruled out despite questions as regards fitness and the drop in trip. 2-4 last season and only beaten 2l at Listed level when last seen; that form worked out.
15th	17 15th (17) (66/1 -100%) Jungle Cove		66 66/1(-100%)																															(17) Jungle Cove 66/1, Not quite the force of old and though this 8yo had excuses of sorts last time (tardily away, raced wide) bit to prove overall. Laytown winner in September; never involved after slow start at Leopardstown; tough ask.
16th	4 16th (4) (50/1 -52%) Longbourn		50 50/1(-52%)																															(4) Longbourn 50/1, Off since a rare below-par run last time, back in September; each-way chance on previous in-form runs; trip/ground are fine. Gained 3rd win last term from 2lb lower; has run well on previous seasonal returns.
17th	7 17th (7) (14/1 -87%) Nurburgring		14 14/1(-87%)																															(7) Nurburgring 14/1, Capable dual-purpose performer; on a feasible mark and ran well over fences at Cheltenham festival latest; not ruled out but concern that this 10f could be too sharp for him now. Dual-purpose performer who remains well treated but surely needs further than this.
18th	1 18th (1) (100/1 -150%) Westminster Moon		100 100/1(-150%)																															(1) Westminster Moon 100/1, Multiple winner and also Group-placed on the Continent; glimmer of promise on stable debut at Cork last month but well held over hurdles since; others more likely at this stage. Group-placed at end of last term in Europe but probably on a stiff enough mark here.
19th	19 19th (19) (15/2 +38%) Molto Amichi		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(19) Molto Amichi 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden who went close when second at Ballinrobe on seasonal debut recently; up in grade but may well be sharper today and has to be respected. Promise in maidens last term and only beaten a nose on return; 1m2f likely to suit.

Joseph O'Brien's AERONAUTIC catches the eye on his handicap debut. This Gleneagles gelding is a lightly-raced sort who has won two of his four races. On his latest outing, he was beaten two lengths into fourth in Listed company at Leopardstown last summer. He can have a say off a mark of 96. Himalayan Heights is race-fit from a decisive victory in a Leopardstown handicap in April. Afterwards, connections commented that he has matured since last season so there should be more to come from him. Longbourn has gone well fresh before and is well versed in big-field handicaps. Cloud Seeker is climbing the weights but has a more-than-decent win ratio, which will stand him in good stead.

It could be worth siding with CLOUD SEEKER who is at his best when allowed to dominate and he made it 5 wins from his last 6 last time

1	4 1st (4) (11/1 -29%) James's Delight		11 11/1(-29%)																															(4) James's Delight 11/1, Smart performer last season but not so good thus far this term, though reappearance run two starts back might have been needed; bit to prove at present. Listed winner last term; hasn't hit those heights in 2 runs this term.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +12%) Lethal Levi		7.5 15/2(+12%)																															(5) Lethal Levi 15/2, Ended last season better than ever and two highly creditable runs this season entitle this front-running 6yo to respect, back in Group company now. Last season's Ayr Gold Cup winner; behind Grand Grey on return; beaten 1l in h'cap since.
3	1 3rd (1) (33/1 -32%) Big Gossey		33 33/1(-32%)																															(1) Big Gossey 33/1, Smart performer who will be suited by the return to 6f and has won eight times here; however, 8yo is flying a bit too high at Gr 2 level; tongue tie returns; others preferred. All 8 turf wins here and Listed winner in March but Group 2 level probably too hot.
4	9 4th (9) (10/1 +64%) Vespertilio		10 10/1(+64%)																															(9) Vespertilio 10/1, Uneven look to her form; below-par last time; peak form is at 7f/1m and something to prove overall. Group 2 winner as a 2yo but didn't kick on and needs to improve on this season's efforts.
5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +0%) My Mate Alfie		4 4/1(+0%)																															(6) My Mate Alfie 4/1, Tapped into a rich vein of form in lucrative autumn hat-trick, including over C&D; satisfactory return at Naas (5f) last month and, with 6f more suitable, is a leading player. 3-time C&D winner inc' Gr 3; only beaten half a length on return; big player back here.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 +0%) Easy		33 33/1(+0%)																															(8) Easy 33/1, Very lightly-raced 5yo; Listed winner (6f, heavy) back from long absence last spring; off since June and has plenty to find here. Listed winner on heavy on last season's return but likely best watched after 338 days off.
7th	2 7th (2) (6/1 -33%) Grand Grey		6 6/1(-33%)																															(2) Grand Grey 6/1, Some pretty good form on the Continent and started out for this yard (following 340,000euros purchase) with fast-finishing second in 6f Gr 3 at Newmarket; needs a bit more now. Went close in Longchamp Gr 3; back to form on yard debut, narrowly denied at Newmarket.
8th	3 8th (3) (9/1 -29%) Iberian		9 9/1(-29%)																															(3) Iberian 9/1, Yard won this last year; back to something within hailing distance of good 2023 2yo form when second in Doncaster Listed race latest; would have won had he kept straight; respected. Ran around when 2nd in Cammidge Trophy; needs more and may want it softer.
9th	7 9th (7) (6/4 +25%) Storm Boy		1.5 6/4(+25%)																															(7) Storm Boy 6/4, Very smart performer in Australia, including Gr 2 and Gr 3 wins; off seven months and Ascot Gr 1 is main target but top yard won this with another ex-Aussie seasonal debutant in 2018. Multiple Group winner down under; big player if fully fit for yard debut.

15:05 Curragh (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Aidan O'Brien takes the wraps off Australian import STORM BOY, who could be an exciting addition to the sprinting ranks. He won at this level at Randwick as a juvenile and is a son of Justify with plenty of dash. He holds Group 1 entries for Royal Ascot. Grand Grey ran on strongly for second (ahead of Lethal Levi in third) in a Group 3 at Newmarket, which was a notable effort on his first start since switching to Kevin Ryan. My Mate Alfie really enjoys the Curragh and is likely to come on from his runner-up berth on his reappearance in Naas. Charlie Hills won this last year and sends Iberian across the Irish Sea, so his chance is respected.

This is all about the fitness of STORM BOY who was a multiple Group-race winner down under and a repeat of those runs would be enough

1	4 1st (4) (1/1 -10%) Field Of Gold		1 1/1(-10%)																															(4) Field Of Gold 1/1, Wide draw here is a minor negative; improved on his good 2yo form this term, last time playing his hand too late when bit unlucky not to narrowly win 2,000 Guineas; good chance. Wasn't seen to best effect in 2,000 Guineas; now gets services of the Irish champion rider.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +11%) Cosmic Year		4 4/1(+11%)																															(2) Cosmic Year 4/1, Steadily progressive colt who made it three from three (all at 7f) in Newmarket Listed race latest; this is significantly harder but 1m should suit better on pedigree and very unexposed. Looked a high-class performer when winning 7f Listed at Newmarket; form has been franked.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 +0%) Hotazhell		9 9/1(+0%)																															(5) Hotazhell 9/1, Very good and steadily progressive 2yo campaign, making it four from six with Gr 1 1m Doncaster win last time in October; unproven on faster than good; strong place contender at least. Talented & handles any ground but will need to be sharp on return tackling race-fit rivals.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 +30%) Rashabar		14 14/1(+30%)																															(7) Rashabar 14/1, Very smart 2yo who ran to form at Newbury on reappearance when said to have just needed it (form upheld since); should stay 1m on pedigree; place claims for sure. Twice second in Group 1s last year after Royal Ascot win but likely to come up short here.
5th	1 5th (1) (50/1 +0%) Comanche Brave		50 50/1(+0%)																															(1) Comanche Brave 50/1, Improved on useful 2yo form when second in 7f Gr 3 at Leopardstown in March; should stay 1m on pedigree; good deal more on his late today. Beaten 0.5l by Henri Matisse on return in 7f Leopardstown Group 3; plenty to find here.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 -65%) Scorthy Champ		33 33/1(-65%)																															(8) Scorthy Champ 33/1, Gr 1 winner here (in 7f National Stakes) as a 2yo; well held when midfield in 2,000 Guineas on reappearance; two full siblings both stayed 1m; something to prove after that. Possibly stretched by this trip when seventh in 2,000 Guineas on return, weakening late.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/2 +36%) Officer		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(6) Officer 9/2, Yard has won three of last 10 runnings of race; progressive; made it two from three with decisive Listed win over C&D latest; this demands more but can come on again; place claims. Impressive winner of C&D Listed contest (good) 19 days ago; can improve; big player.
8th	9 8th (9) (25/1 +24%) Windlord		25 25/1(+24%)																															(9) Windlord 25/1, Smart performer last year and ran to form upped to 10f on reappearance at Sandown in April; cheekpieces on now; something to find; same ownership as Field Of Gold and Cosmic Year. Runner-up in Classic Trial at Sandown on return; doesn't have the form to be considered.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -75%) Expanded		28 28/1(-75%)																															(3) Expanded 28/1, Place contender for sure on last season's close second in the Gr 1 Dewhurst on just his second start; disappointing return in 2,000 Guineas though and deserted by Ryan Moore now. Disappointed as Ballydoyle's sole contender for the 2,000 Guineas; too early to write off.

15:40 Curragh (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Newmarket runner-up FIELD OF GOLD can gain compensation for a narrow defeat in the first Classic of the season. The Gosdens' grey was arguably an unlucky loser, making late headway to lose out by half a length. With Colin Keane taking over in the saddle, the Juddmonte-owned colt has strong claims of taking this prize back across the Irish Sea. Hotazhell, who was a late withdrawal from the French Guineas, has every chance if ready on his first start of the season. Officer needs to take a significant step forward but, as the pick of the Ballydoyle pair, he commands maximum respect.

Field Of Gold bids for Classic redemption but seeking a record-extending 13th win in this race, Aidan O'Brien's OFFICER is fancied

1	5 1st (5) (9/2 -29%) Skukuza		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(5) Skukuza 9/2, Raced freely on AW on seasonal debut; that was an okay return all told and last year's Britannia (1m, good to firm) second has to be respected. Runner-up at Royal Ascot last year; British challenger commands respect with Ryan Moore on.
2	13 2nd (13) (22/1 -57%) Serialise		22 22/1(-57%)																															(13) Serialise 22/1, Generally consistent last season; very sound return at Cork this month; return to 1m isn't an issue; still quite lightly raced and well worth considering. Creditable third on Cork return 18 days ago; stable first string on jockey bookings.
3	14 3rd (14) (16/1 +0%) Slieve Binnian		16 16/1(+0%)																															(14) Slieve Binnian 16/1, Ran pretty well back on grass last time at Cork (1m2f, soft; hampered) but would appeal more at longer trip; better on AW but does have commensurately lower turf mark. AW specialist; first try at this trip since June 2023 and might find it on the sharp side.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 -78%) Coeur D'or		16 16/1(-78%)																															(1) Coeur D'or 16/1, 9yo now and been off since August but still very capable last year, can go well here and has also run well fresh, so possibilities on peak 2024 form. Fourth of 24 in the Irish Cambridgeshire over C&D last August; might need this on return.
5th	15 5th (15) (50/1 +38%) San Aer		50 50/1(+38%)																															(15) San Aer 50/1, Latest two Flat runs, both over C&D, been below-par; another out-of-sorts run over hurdles last time; may be happier back on the Flat but plenty to prove; no hood today. Dual-purpose performer is 4-41 on the Flat; midfield in the Lincoln; would be shock winner.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/2 +50%) Akecheta		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(7) Akecheta 9/2, Lightly raced for her age; needs a bit more and faster than good an unknown but did run very well over C&D (started tardily) on return in March and by no means discounted. Hit the line well when second to Indigo Five on return; should be in the mix.
7th	12 7th (12) (2/1 +78%) Lord Church		2 2/1(+78%)																															(12) Lord Church 2/1, Three wins last season, the last of them here (1m1f); highly promising return at Limerick last month and today's jockey booking a very positive sign, so much respected. Hat-trick last season for former yard; eyecatching run at Limerick; Oisin Murphy booked.
8th	17 8th (17) (25/1 +0%) No More Porter		25 25/1(+0%)																															(17) No More Porter 25/1, Interesting on such as last June's C&D (good) second but needs to step up on this March's two down-the-field runs over C&D (acts on soft, so that isn't a convincing excuse). All three wins have come here; last success was over 7f last September off 82; 1lb lower.
9th	18 9th (18) (12/1 +25%) Enchanted Garden		12 12/1(+25%)																															(18) Enchanted Garden 12/1, Unraced beyond 7f; made it three from seven with reappearance win at Leopardstown (7f) in April and, lightly raced and progressive, is worth close consideration. Lightly raced 4yo has won 3-4 handicaps; 2lb wrong but good chance again up in trip.
10th	10 10th (10) (100/1 -100%) Exquisite Acclaim		100 100/1(-100%)																															(10) Exquisite Acclaim 100/1, Knows how to win and still on a feasible mark but was uncharacteristically out of sorts with well held latest run so bit to prove returned to grass now. AW specialist is 6-23 at Dundalk and 1-22 on turf; mark looks too high at present.
11th	6 11th (6) (5/1 +0%) State Actor		5 5/1(+0%)																															(6) State Actor 5/1, Won this last year and even better form when second over C&D in August; lightly raced for his age; may come on again this year and high on the list. Won this last year; disappointed in Balmoral at Ascot; big player returning to this track.
12th	9 12th (9) (50/1 -52%) Grey Leader		50 50/1(-52%)																															(9) Grey Leader 50/1, Excuses on recent seasonal debut (might have needed it; met some trouble); looks on a high enough mark and ground any faster than good would be a major concern. Galway winner last year; never involved on return 6 days ago; poor in this race last year.
13th	8 13th (8) (40/1 -122%) Perfect Judgement		40 40/1(-122%)																															(8) Perfect Judgement 40/1, Progressed nicely for this yard on AW in the winter and used to be effective on grass too but more needed back from a short break now. Completed 1m Dundalk hat-trick in the winter; will need a career-best to defy current mark.
14th	2 14th (2) (25/1 -79%) Indigo Five		25 25/1(-79%)																															(2) Indigo Five 25/1, Bit below-par latest while ground any faster than good would be a concern; really solid record here and not discounted. Fourth to Orandi in the Lincoln; C&D win next time; poor at Gowran; could bounce back.
15th	19 15th (19) (40/1 +0%) Eighty Eight		40 40/1(+0%)																															(19) Eighty Eight 40/1, Ran to form when back on turf over 10f at Ballinrobe last time; used to be effective at 1m but stays 1m4f and may well now need further; others preferred. Third of eight at Ballinrobe (9.5f) on latest but faces a tough examination here.
16th	11 16th (11) (28/1 -12%) Presence		28 28/1(-12%)																															(11) Presence 28/1, Made too much use of when down the field over 10f at Cork most recent; C&D apprentices' race winner under this rider last season; bit to find overall. 14lb higher than C&D win; down the field in two comeback runs and must improve here.
17th	16 17th (16) (20/1 -82%) Derry Lad		20 20/1(-82%)																															(16) Derry Lad 20/1, Fair effort on stable/seasonal debut at Leopardstown (1m) last time; tongue-tie first time; worth keeping an eye on but possibly with other races at further than this 1m more in mind. Wasn't beaten far (3.5l) on seasonal/stable debut at Leopardstown; market watch advised.
18th	4 18th (4) (33/1 -106%) Blues Emperor		33 33/1(-106%)																															(4) Blues Emperor 33/1, Off since below-par run on AW in December; sound fifth (led) in this last year; looks weighted up to recent best; others preferred. C&D winner finished fifth in this race last year, beaten 2.5l; now 1lb lower on return.

Irish Lincoln winner ORANDI has every chance of landing another big prize for trainer Tony Martin. Narrowly denied when bidding to follow up in the English equivalent at Doncaster, the seven-year-old was subsequently raised 4lb. With Jack Kearney taking 3lb off his back, the gelding looks favourably treated and given his liking for these big-field cavalry charges, he has to be the first port of call. A real eyecatcher on his recent stable debut at Limerick, Lord Church has to be of interest on his second start for Emmet Mullins. Stablemate Derry Lad is another who should appreciate a strongly-run mile.

ENCHANTED GARDEN gets the nod. The lightly raced filly is 3-4 in handicaps and looked well ahead of the assessor when scoring on return

1	14 1st (14) (12/1 +14%) Goal Exceeded		12 12/1(+14%)																															(14) Goal Exceeded 12/1, Running well enough when last seen in the autumn while this is a very good mark on earlier 2024 form; there's a slight stamina doubt at 7f again but interesting otherwise for new yard. Beaten 1.25l into fourth of 14 in 7f Dundalk handicap in October; first run for yard.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 -10%) Pinar Del Rio		11 11/1(-10%)																															(10) Pinar Del Rio 11/1, Ran to form when close second at Naas last time on seasonal return; goes well here; ground any faster than good an unknown but interesting otherwise. 2nd of 13 at Naas (6f, good) two weeks ago, headed close home; shortlisted from 1lb lower.
3	18 3rd (18) (40/1 -21%) Genesis		40 40/1(-21%)																															(18) Genesis 40/1, May be better on the AW, though the evidence isn't conclusive; 7f stamina unproven; bit to prove on most recent winter AW form. Can be slowly out of the stalls; needs to find major improvement to have a squeak.
4	21 4th (21) (33/1 -32%) Secret Magician		33 33/1(-32%)																															(21) Secret Magician 33/1, Below-par at Limerick most recently; generally out of form; feasible mark if able to revive; blinkers back on instead of cheekpieces. Not at best of late; well treated on pick of form and Wayne Lordan an interesting booking.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 +58%) Plume Noire		14 14/1(+58%)																															(4) Plume Noire 14/1, Off since down-the-field run here in August; interesting on her bright start to 2024, when a winner at Naas and then second over C&D; new trainer now (same ownership). Unlucky over C&D last June; goes well fresh and looks well treated on stable debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (4/1 +33%) Genuine Article		4 4/1(+33%)																															(8) Genuine Article 4/1, Down the field on 2024 return though did win on his 2023 return; claims on such as C&D third last time in September off a feasible mark today. In and out of form last season but some of better efforts came under this rider; absence.
7th	3 7th (3) (6/1 +33%) Chicago Fireball		6 6/1(+33%)																															(3) Chicago Fireball 6/1, Latest Cork run was a step in the right direction; very feasible mark on pick of 2024 form and, with decent-paced 7f likely to suit, is a contender. Beaten 0.5l in C&D handicap off 90 on final start last year; 4lb lower; each-way chance.
8th	15 8th (15) (33/1 -136%) Rappell		33 33/1(-136%)																															(15) Rappell 33/1, Below-par at Naas last time while stamina for 7f is very much unproven; three wins last year included one here (6f) but others preferred today. A real threat when he gets a decent pace to aim at but has to prove he stays this far.
9th	7 9th (7) (17/2 -21%) Merisi Diamond		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(7) Merisi Diamond 17/2, Solid record here, promising Limerick return in April and on a feasible mark so worth considering, though there's a doubt about this unproven ground (goes well with plenty of cut). Fourth from tough draw at Limerick (1m) last month but hopes rest on the heavens opening.
10th	17 10th (17) (16/1 -45%) Gordon Bennett		16 16/1(-45%)																															(17) Gordon Bennett 16/1, 7f is the big question, as he remains unproven at this trip; ran okay in big field here last time; previous reappearance run was promising and sound overall record here; considered. Encouraging runs here over 6f since returning but struggled over this trip in the past.
11th	16 11th (16) (11/1 +45%) Black Storm		11 11/1(+45%)																															(16) Black Storm 11/1, Ended 2024 on a low-key note on AW in December; interesting on debut second (1m, good to firm) and AW win (7f) in maidens previously; lightly raced, so possible improver this year too. 2nd to Listed-placed horse on sole turf outing at Cork on debut; could improve.
12th	6 12th (6) (6/1 +57%) Shavasi		6 6/1(+57%)																															(6) Shavasi 6/1, Last season's two wins were at further; okay return last month and, unraced as a 2yo/lightly raced overall, is possible improver this year; considered. Heavy ground possibly to blame for poor comeback run at Gowran; in the mix.
13th	12 13th (12) (33/1 -136%) Eyema Candy Girl		33 33/1(-136%)																															(12) Eyema Candy Girl 33/1, Down the field upped to 1m on Dundalk AW in December; had won a 6f maiden at same track on debut previously; lightly-raced potential improver for good yard now. Won on debut at Dundalk (6f) in November; well beaten over 1m there since; watch market.
14th	5 14th (5) (25/1 +24%) Four Blondes		25 25/1(+24%)																															(5) Four Blondes 25/1, Probably needed race at Naas last time; each-way claims on peak form and 7f is okay but risky proposition on latest evidence. Found 6f too sharp when weak in the betting on return last month; others preferred.
15th	2 15th (2) (33/1 -106%) Merlin The Wizard		33 33/1(-106%)																															(2) Merlin The Wizard 33/1, Fitness and distance (5f too sharp) excuses for latest reappearance defeat but plenty to prove overall on the evidence of last few runs; hood left off. No show over inadequate 5f at Navan on seasonal/stable debut in first-time hood (left off).
16th	20 16th (20) (18/1 +28%) Penny Mountain		18 18/1(+28%)																															(20) Penny Mountain 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden who was improved fourth in 6f maiden here last time; 7f stamina unproven; has changed yards; unexposed but this demands more and others preferred. Eyecatching run after tardy start when fourth in course maiden on return; interesting.
17th	19 17th (19) (22/1 +33%) Just For One Day		22 22/1(+33%)																															(19) Just For One Day 22/1, Off since down the field upped to 7f on AW in October; won 6f maiden here previously; well-bred and lightly-raced 5yo and wouldn't be a massive surprise to see her involved. Won 6f maiden here last year; will appreciate return to turf but absence to overcome.
18th	1 18th (1) (14/1 -40%) Transcending Glory		14 14/1(-40%)																															(1) Transcending Glory 14/1, 7f Leopardstown winner last summer; patchy since, though wide trip no help on recent Chester reappearance; change of headgear; others appeal more. Second over C&D on this card last year; had excuses for Chester run on return, caught wide.
19th	9 19th (9) (12/1 -85%) Marakesh		12 12/1(-85%)																															(9) Marakesh 12/1, Thrice-raced 5yo who won maiden at Gowran (7f, good) on debut last season and similar form over that same C&D (heavy) on last month's return; possible improver now; respected. Outran odds when runner-up at Gowran (7f, heavy) on handicap debut; unchanged mark; player.
20th	11 20th (11) (28/1 +15%) Verhoyen		28 28/1(+15%)																															(11) Verhoyen 28/1, Won this in 2022 and 2023; veteran wasn't beaten all that far in second start of 2025 latest so, off a very feasible mark on best 2024 form, worth considering. Won this race in 2022 and 2023; Billy Lee (6-time winner on him) is on Merisi Diamond.

Having been successful off a similar break in the past, GENUINE ARTICLE can make a winning reappearance. Lightly raced for previous connections, the five-year-old has shaped with promise on more than one occasion since joining Gerry Keane. Third over C&D on his final start last season, the gelding remains open to further improvement. Merisi Diamond, who looked to be coming to hand when fourth at Limerick last month, shouldn't be far away. Although versatile when it comes to trip, this appears to be his optimum distance. Pinar Del Rio is entitled to be sharper for his recent narrow defeat at Naas.

PLUME NOIRE won on reappearance last year and was an unlucky loser in a C&D fillies' premier handicap in June off 2lb higher

Newbury maiden winner in Sept'; shade disappointing when odds-on for Kempton novice since.

4	9 4th (9) (8/1 +33%) Far From Dandy		8 8/1(+33%)																															(9) Far From Dandy 8/1, Thrice-raced colt who won at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) and was then second at Brighton (1m, soft) last autumn; more needed on stable debut but he is a potential improver. Yarmouth maiden winner; not beaten far when last seen; needs more on h'cap debut; new yard.
5th	2 5th (2) (33/1 -50%) Nancy J		33 33/1(-50%)																															(2) Nancy J 33/1, Decent winning 2yo (7f) who might not have stayed 1m on seasonal debut this month; cheekpieces first time; others appeal more at these weights. Gowran maiden win on debut before big run at Listed level; not as good since; cheekpieces.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/1 -10%) Scott Key		11 11/1(-10%)																															(8) Scott Key 11/1, Race might have come too soon when disappointing latest; needs more on previous winning form at Gowran (1m, heavy; acts on good). Came on from return with heavy ground 1m win; too keen at Naas since; this may be sharp.
7th	7 7th (7) (22/1 -120%) Monotone		22 22/1(-120%)																															(7) Monotone 22/1, Ran to form at Gowran Park (7f) on reappearance in April; it's not conclusive but may need slower ground; blinkers worn latest are left off; more needed. Cork maiden winner second time out at 2; didn't kick on but back to form with narrow 3rd.
8th	10 8th (10) (16/1 +36%) Powerful Lady		16 16/1(+36%)																															(10) Powerful Lady 16/1, Below-par here last time; won on AW (1m) earlier on this year; more needed on balance and may be better on the AW. Won fillies' maiden on AW but not as good twice since and may want a step back up in trip.
9th	11 9th (11) (14/1 -17%) Gangsta Man		14 14/1(-17%)																															(11) Gangsta Man 14/1, Breakthrough win with reappearance success at Roscommon (7.5f, good); this demands more up 4lb. Off the mark at 12th attempt latest and may dominate from the front again.

Only beaten 1l in a maiden on debut before Cork maiden win which has worked out nicely.

Cork maiden winner JAGGED EDGE looks open to improvement from an initial mark of 90. Well on top in the closing stages, the form received a boost when the runner-up won easily next time out. Given how strongly he travelled when opening his account, dropping back a furlong in trip should see the son of Blue Point in an even better light. Madrid Handicap winner East Hampton has to be respected, despite his big weight. That Naas race has thrown up plenty of subsequent Graded performers over the years. British raider Shameful has to enter calculations with Colin Keane booked.

A few in with claims but GANGSTA MAN dominated from the front at Roscommon just 12 days ago and he's only up 4lb for that

Step up in trip on a more galloping track should play to his strengths; shortlisted.

The Dermot Weld-trained ESHERANN has every chance of improving on his debut second at Leopardstown. Always prominent, the Wootton Bassett colt kept on nicely to take minor honours close home. Stepping up an additional three furlongs looks very much in his favour, while the experience of racing over shorter on his introduction will not have been lost on him. Rizal, who was very strong in the market when fifth at Gowran Park, is another who should have benefited from his initial outing and it would be no surprise to see Johnny Murtagh's colt leave that form well behind. Propose is also worthy of consideration.

Irish Derby entry PROPOSE can build on his Dundalk second and strike at the third time of asking under Ryan Moore

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.
