LTO Selection:

Aidan O'Brien boasts a strong hand with three well-bred colts in DIEGO VELAZQUEZ, Meriwether Lewis and Portland. The vote goes to the former as he is a half-brother to Broome, who has been an excellent servant to connections in recent seasons, and, more interestingly, Point Lonsdale, who won this in 2021 before landing the Chesham at Royal Ascot. It would be no surprise if the son of Frankel made a winning start to his career. The aforementioned Meriwether Lewis has a sublime pedigree and has to be respected along with Huxley, while Instant Appeal's second on debut at Leopardstown gives him a great chance.

DIEGO VELAZQUEZ fetched a mouth-watering 2,400,000 gns as a yearling and, seemingly the choice of Ryan Moore, he's selected to make a winning start before the benefit of market clues. Instant Appeal showed fairly useful form first time up when second at Leopardstown last month, so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of the selection's stablemate Portland.

Some serious pedigrees on show here and all eyes will be on Frankel newcomer DIEGO VELASQUEZ who was a hugely expensive yearling

17:00 Curragh Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:30 Curragh Stakes 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Third of 6 in maiden (6/4) at Cork (5f, heavy) on debut 60 days ago. Should significantly improve. Beaten fav at Cork; well regarded and likely to step forward a good deal on better ground.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 +0%) Slurricane	50 50/1(+0%)	(6) Slurricane 50/1, Foaled May 8. 95,000 gns 2-y-o, Kodiac colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Tallulah Myla.

8th	9 8th (9) (100/1 +0%) Glor Alainn	100 100/1(+0%)	(9) Glor Alainn 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Tipperary (5f, good, 100/1) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. Has the profile of one who will be competing in nurseries; outsider here.

LTO Selection:

VALIANT FORCE wasn't disgraced when weakening late on into fifth in the Marble Hill over C&D recently and the Adrian Murray-trained colt could put his experience to good use on this drop in class. The market should prove informative for Aidan O'Brien's trio, with debut third Alabama likely to appreciate this stiffer test. His stablemate The Liffey may improve once over further, but he has enough speed and class in his pedigree to make an impact here too.

VALIANT FORCE has been highly tried on both of his starts but has shown plenty of ability in defeat and can take advantage of the drop in class. Alabama can be expected to leave his debut run well behind so rates the main threat ahead of Mythology, who fetched a tidy sum at the Breeze Ups.

Of those that have run, ALABAMA (nap) is taken to step up from his third on heavy ground and is preferred to Valiant Glory.

17:30 Curragh Stakes 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:00 Curragh Maiden 12f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (1.62/1 +19%) Scarlett O'Hara	1.62 1.62/1(+19%)	(12) Scarlett O'Hara 1.62/1, Thrice-raced filly. Second of 12 in maiden (7/2) at Leopardstown (12f, good) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Likely to continue in form. Beaten only half a length over this trip at Leopardstown and that sets the standard.
2	6 2nd (6) (7.5/1 +25%) Bindi Sue	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(6) Bindi Sue 7.5/1, €185,000 yearling, Australia filly. Sister to 1½m winner Yarrawonga and half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 7f Mystery Power and winner up to 1¼m Fayez, both useful. Half-sister to Group 2 winner over 7f but stoutly bred; cost E185,000 as a yearling.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -100%) Aird	7 7/1(-100%)	(3) Aird 7/1, Promising sort. 20/1, fifth of 15 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, soft) on debut, not knocked about. Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip. Should progress. Promising start when fifth in back-end Leopardstown maiden that has worked out well.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 +0%) Delicate Girl	18 18/1(+0%)	(7) Delicate Girl 18/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, sixth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) on debut 31 days ago, merely closing up late. Likely to improve. Beaten 15l on testing ground at Leopardstown last month; steps up in trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 -11%) Angelic Appeal	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Angelic Appeal 10/1, Promising type. Fourth of 12 in maiden (80/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good) 19 days ago. Yard in good form. Open to improvement. Good run when stable second-string at Leopardstown but 4l to find with Scarlett O'Hara.
6th	10 6th (10) (28/1 -40%) Kitty McFee	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Kitty McFee 28/1, Once-raced filly. 150/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) on debut 31 days ago. Should have more to offer. Huge price but showed some promise when fifth (ahead of 2 of these) in Leopardstown maiden.
7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 -14%) Diana Moon	25 25/1(-14%)	(8) Diana Moon 25/1, €70,000 yearling, Sea The Moon filly. Dam, French/German maiden, half-sister to smart 1m-11f winner Salve Germania out of Preis der Diana winner Salve Regina, runner-up in Deutsches Derby. Wears hood. Stoutly-bred filly cost E70,000 as a yearling and is hooded for debut.
8th	13 8th (13) (100/1 -150%) Tender Camilla	100 100/1(-150%)	(13) Tender Camilla 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (12f, good, 22/1) 19 days ago. Stable in good form. Well beaten in race in which Scarlett O'Hara was second at Leopardstown; outsider.
9th	11 9th (11) (20/1 -67%) Portunalia	20 20/1(-67%)	(11) Portunalia 20/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 14 in maiden (22/1) at Roscommon (10.3f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago. May well do better. Stable second-string, shaped well when sixth against colts at Roscommon; goes another 2f.
10th	9 10th (9) (11/1 +50%) Kermiya	11 11/1(+50%)	(9) Kermiya 11/1, Once-raced filly. 12/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) on debut 31 days ago, slowly away. Trainer going well. Should improve. Finished behind Delicate Girl when well beaten on debut but may improve for better ground.
11th	2 11th (2) (250/1 -25%) You Make Me Smile	250 250/1(-25%)	(2) You Make Me Smile 250/1, Little form in bumpers. Poor bumper performer; no chance on Flat debut.
12th	4 12th (4) (3.33/1 +5%) All Time Great	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(4) All Time Great 3.33/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden (7/1) at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) on debut 63 days ago. Stable having good spell. Open to progress. Well beaten on debut at Leopardstown but Irish Oaks entry will be better on fast ground.
13th	1 13th (1) (150/1 -127%) Macintosh Lady	150 150/1(-127%)	(1) Macintosh Lady 150/1, €1,500 yearling, Dawn Approach mare. Dam, Italian 5f winner, half-sister to Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp winner Move In Time. Dawn Approach mare making debut at five; very unlikely to figure.

LTO Selection:

SCARLETT O'HARA has finished second in two very competitive maidens in recent months and the application of first-time cheekpieces could help the daughter of Frankel to go one better here. Aird was a nose in front of the selection on her sole previous start last year and she cannot be discounted on her return to action. Kitty McFee showed plenty of promise on her racecourse bow and edges out Portunalia and Bindi Sue to be best of the rest.

ALL TIME GREAT didn't show much in a heavy-ground maiden at Leopardstown in April but that race was won by her bigger-priced stablemate and subsequent Oaks runner-up Savethelastdance, so this daughter of Justify is evidently thought capable of a good deal better (entered for Ribblesdale and Irish Oaks). Aird showed plenty in what was a strong fillies maiden at Leopardstown in October so rates the main threat ahead of Scarlett O'Hara, who looks capable of winning a maiden at some point.

Jessica Harrington's SCARLETT O'HARA sets the standard on her latest run at Leopardstown; Angelic Appeal will enjoy this ground

18:00 Curragh Maiden 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:30 Curragh Handicap 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (5/1 +9%) Run Ran Run	5 5/1(+9%)	(7) Run Ran Run 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 4/1) 32 days ago, met some trouble. Must improve but he's still relatively unexposed.
2	2 2nd (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Maria Branwell	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(2) Maria Branwell 4.5/1, Creditable 4¼ lengths eighth of 15 to The Antarctic in Lacken Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 14/1) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 +36%) Cash Or Crypto	9 9/1(+36%)	(8) Cash Or Crypto 9/1, Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (13/2) at Tipperary (5f, good) 8 days ago. Ran well on reappearance and it's too soon to write him off.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 +6%) Apache Outlaw	8 8/1(+6%)	(1) Apache Outlaw 8/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable 4½ lengths ninth of 15 to The Antarctic in Lacken Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 50/1) 17 days ago, running on. Makes handicap debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (5.5/1 +8%) Amazon Lady	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(6) Amazon Lady 5.5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 9/1, ¾-length fourth of 10 to Not Too Real Bad in handicap at Cork (5f, good) 21 days ago. Booking of Lee a plus. Sure to go well.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 +40%) Song For Whoever	12 12/1(+40%)	(3) Song For Whoever 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. 33/1, 17¾ lengths last of 15 to The Antarctic in Lacken Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (4.5/1 +0%) Silmaniya	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(5) Silmaniya 4.5/1, Bit below form 3¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Funny Money Honey in listed race (5/1) at Dundalk (5f), not ideally placed. Off 8 months. Type to make a better 3yo.
8th	9 8th (9) (6.5/1 -44%) Not Too Real Bad	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(9) Not Too Real Bad 6.5/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Cork (5f, good, 9/1) 21 days ago. Going the right way and makes plenty of appeal once more.
9th	4 9th (4) (11/1 -10%) Dontspoilasale	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Dontspoilasale 11/1, 10/3, very good second of 6 in minor event at Dundalk (5f), sticking to task. Off 8 months. Likely to need this first run back.

LTO Selection:

Apache Outlaw ran to a high level as a juvenile, perhaps most notably when finishing within two lengths of Shartash in the Railway Stakes, and that level of form entitles him to plenty of respect on this handicap bow. Not Too Real Bad found herself with plenty to do passing the two furlong marker, so it was to her credit that she found a way to win at Cork. Thomas Mullins' charge runs from 2lb out of the handicap here, but that success would suggest she can cope. SILMANIYA opened her account at Navan last September before going on to contest a Listed event at Dundalk, where she was sent off favourite. Back on turf, this mark looks well within range and he edges the vote.

NOT TOO REAL BAD finished strongly to score at Cork 3 weeks ago and, with the scope for further progress, she gets the narrow vote ahead of the reappearing Silmaniya. Amazon Lady is another one to consider.

Joseph O'Brien's MARIA BRANWELL has a touch of class about her and she should be very competitive in her first handicap.

18:30 Curragh Handicap 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

19:00 Curragh Handicap 14f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (2.75/1 +50%) Nusret	2.75 2.75/1(+50%)	(6) Nusret 2.75/1, Course winner. Good 8 lengths fourth of 8 to Lossiemouth in Champion Juvenile Hurdle (18/1) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) 39 days ago, not ideally placed. Still not fully exposed on the Flat. Smart juvenile hurdler had a profitable winter; maiden winner over 1m4f here last year.
2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 +52%) Almuhit	16 16/1(+52%)	(4) Almuhit 16/1, Thirteenth of 18 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D (good) 10 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Needs to bounce back. Couldn't land a blow in Chester Cup or C&D handicap last month; lot more needed.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 -23%) Burren Song	8 8/1(-23%)	(5) Burren Song 8/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (7/2) at Leopardstown (12f, good) 19 days ago, getting first run. In terrific heart lately and should give another good account. Up 14lb in all after rattling up a hat-trick at trips up to 1m4f; placed over 1m6f.
4	10 4th (10) (12/1 +25%) Sheishybrid	12 12/1(+25%)	(10) Sheishybrid 12/1, Respectable eleventh of 18 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D (good) 10 days ago, not ideally placed. Others more persuasive. Won over 2m2f last year; never travelling when mid-division over C&D last month.
5th	7 5th (7) (8.5/1 -13%) Mellow Magic	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(7) Mellow Magic 8.5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 4/1, 10¾ lengths eighth of 11 to Final Gesture in listed race at Gowran (14f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Not discounted back down in grade. Won first time out last year and on yard bow this term at Gowran; refused to load latest.
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 -40%) Firstman	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Firstman 28/1, Latest win at Dundalk in January. Fifth of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Haydock (16.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs things to drop right. Progressive since last summer with four wins at trips up to 2m; not at his best at Haydock.
7th	1 7th (1) (4.5/1 +0%) My Mate Mozzie	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) My Mate Mozzie 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 5/1, very good second of 20 in handicap at Naas (16.1f, heavy). Off 7 months. One to note if the market speaks in his favour on return. Up 6lb for Naas November Handicap second so stiff task but classy sort can go well fresh.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 +0%) Vultan	28 28/1(+0%)	(8) Vultan 28/1, 5½ lengths ninth of 10 to Burren Song in handicap (66/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good) 19 days ago. Something to find on form. Badly hampered behind Burren Song last time and could be capable of a good showing.
9th	2 9th (2) (9/1 -64%) Hell Bent	9 9/1(-64%)	(2) Hell Bent 9/1, Course winner. Good 2 lengths third of 10 to Burren Song in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good, 16/1) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Sure to go well. Third to Burren Song over 1m4f last time and 5lb better off; cheekpieces (won in blinkers).
10th	3 10th (3) (3.5/1 -27%) White Caviar	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(3) White Caviar 3.5/1, Promising type. Creditable 7 lengths third of 11 to Final Gesture in listed race at Gowran (14f, good to soft, 11/2) 35 days ago, never nearer. Makes plenty of appeal back in handicap company. Improver on soft ground in the autumn; Listed-placed over this trip at Gowran on return.

LTO Selection:

BURREN SONG has only had one attempt at this trip in the past, when not beaten far at Killarney, and now looks like the ideal time to go again, having won his last three. Andrew Slattery's charge can uphold the form with Hell Bent (third) from Leopardstown, while My Mate Mozzie must be of interest on his first run since finishing second in the November Handicap. Stablemates Nusret and White Caviar also have the form to get involved in proceedings.

WHITE CAVIAR stayed on well into third in a listed contest at Gowran last time and she's open to further improvement back in handicap company, so she gets the nod over the thriving Burren Song. Hell Bent is another one to consider with cheekpieces applied for the first itme.

Not at his best in two trips across the water last month, FIRSTMAN will enjoy the ground and might be able to bounce back to form

19:00 Curragh Handicap 14f PREDICTION SIMULATION

19:30 Curragh Maiden 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (1.1/1 +69%) Miracle Nation	1.1 1.1/1(+69%)	(9) Miracle Nation 1.1/1, Promising sort. 100/1 and tongue strap on, fourth of 13 in maiden at this course (6f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago, never nearer. Open to progress. Seemed to be getting the hang of things late on when fourth on debut here..
2	2 2nd (2) (1.75/1 +61%) Blue News	1.75 1.75/1(+61%)	(2) Blue News 1.75/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 11 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 11 in maiden at Tipperary (7.5f, good, 9/1) 8 days ago. Vulnerable to less exposed sorts. 0-11 and has had plenty of chances in what looked winnable races at times..
3	4 3rd (4) (22/1 +56%) Double Jabbed	22 22/1(+56%)	(4) Double Jabbed 22/1, Once-raced gelding. Last of 14 in maiden (66/1) at Leopardstown (7.1f, good) on debut. Off 10 months. Absent since last August when finishing last in a 7f Leopardstown maiden (good; 66-1)..
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 +36%) Dance Night Andday	14 14/1(+36%)	(8) Dance Night Andday 14/1, Buratino filly. Dam unraced. Probably best watched on debut unless market indicates otherwise. First foal out of an unraced half-sister to useful 1m2f winner Cut Corn; limited appeal..
5th	6 5th (6) (6.5/1 +80%) Glencullen	6.5 6.5/1(+80%)	(6) Glencullen 6.5/1, Estidhkaar gelding. Brother to 7f-11f winner Mayvid and closely related to 2-y-o 7f winner Five Amarones. Dam maiden (stayed 13f). Wears hood. Decent pedigree but this is a belated debut and he kicks off in a hood..
6th	1 6th (1) (25/1 +75%) Contradanza	25 25/1(+75%)	(1) Contradanza 25/1, Twice-raced filly who fared little better than on debut 13 months earlier when tenth of 13 in maiden (250/1) at this course (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Passed over. Showed more here 12 days ago than on debut but was still behind Miracle Nation..
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 +39%) Anaelle	40 40/1(+39%)	(7) Anaelle 40/1, Once-raced filly. Fifteenth of 16 in maiden (100/1) at Naas (8f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago, very slowly away. Down in trip. Upset in the stalls and slowly away before bringing up the rear at Naas (100-1)..

LTO Selection:

DESERT HAVEN has clearly improved from two to three years and looks the answer to this maiden. Noel Meade's charge was a beaten favourite at Cork last month but it wasn't a particularly bad run and he sets a decent standard on his penultimate effort at this track. First Gentleman tries cheekpieces for the first time and has placed on each of his two starts, including here, while Blue News boasts good enough form to suggest he can be competitive too.

Only a short head separated FIRST GENTLEMAN and Desert Haven when the pair met at Cork 33 days ago and, with the former boasting fewer miles on the clock, he gets the nod to confirm those placings with first-time cheekpieces now enlisted. Miracle Nation and Blue News complete the shortlist.

There's not a lot between the standout form contenders but MIRACLE NATION could be open to the most improvement after one run.

20:00 Curragh Handicap 6f - 21 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	18 1st (18) (20/1 -43%) Blanc De Noir	20 20/1(-43%)	(18) Blanc De Noir 20/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, good, 12/1) 21 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Better expected over 6f for in-form yard. Might well be a better horse on this drier ground and 5f looked on the sharp side at Cork..
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 +33%) Lady Arwen	8 8/1(+33%)	(7) Lady Arwen 8/1, 10/1, very good neck third of 25 to Admiral Nelson in handicap at Cork (7f, good) 21 days ago. First run for yard after leaving James M. Barrett. Merits consideration. Perhaps unlucky not to win the recent Cork handicap won by Admiral Nelson; better at 7f..
3	3 3rd (3) (4.5/1 +40%) Midnight Fire	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(3) Midnight Fire 4.5/1, 3-time C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Creditable third of 17 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, running on. Three-time course winner over 6f and was a bit unlucky not to go close over 7f 12 days ago.
4	9 4th (9) (8/1 +11%) Gegenpressing	8 8/1(+11%)	(9) Gegenpressing 8/1, 16/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 32 days ago, shaping very well into the bargain. Big player from the same mark. Ran well from a poor draw last time at Naas but he's perhaps better at 7f than 6f..
5th	22 5th (22) (22/1 +56%) Tammany Hall	22 22/1(+56%)	(22) Tammany Hall 22/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 12/1, fifteenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 46 days ago. He's not badly handicapped on some of his best form, including at this track..
6th	17 6th (17) (12/1 -9%) Jazzy Dancer	12 12/1(-9%)	(17) Jazzy Dancer 12/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 6 days ago. Blinkers back on. Must improve. Has the form to feature and can be forgiven his Fairyhouse effort last time..
7th	14 7th (14) (14/1 +30%) Soi Dao	14 14/1(+30%)	(14) Soi Dao 14/1, Blinkered for first time, fifth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) 4 days ago, never nearer. Enters calculations. Ran okay but no more than that in new blinkers at Listowel (6.5f, good) the other day..
8th	15 8th (15) (9/1 +10%) Cnodian	9 9/1(+10%)	(15) Cnodian 9/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable 1¾ lengths ninth of 25 to Admiral Nelson in handicap (16/1) at Cork (7f, good) 21 days ago, never nearer. She ran some good races here last season over 5f, 6f and 7f; not dismissed..
9th	21 9th (21) (100/1 -52%) Famous Enough	100 100/1(-52%)	(21) Famous Enough 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 250/1) 15 days ago. Down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Must bounce back. Entitled to show more now handicapping but has plenty to prove..
10th	4 10th (4) (11/1 +45%) Grigal	11 11/1(+45%)	(4) Grigal 11/1, Sixth of 15 in maiden (20/1) at Cork (6f, soft) 33 days ago. Makes handicap debut and not out of this on debut form. Could be an improver on handicap debut now back on the right ground..
11th	6 11th (6) (11/1 +45%) Chrismoltisanti	11 11/1(+45%)	(6) Chrismoltisanti 11/1, Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Dundalk (6f). Off 180 days. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not had many chances in handicaps and wasn't a million miles away at Dundalk last time..
12th	1 12th (1) (16/1 +20%) Nordic Passage	16 16/1(+20%)	(1) Nordic Passage 16/1, C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2020. Twenty first of 24 in handicap (22/1) at this course (6f, soft) 37 days ago. Probably needed first start in 6 months. Has form here but his reappearance (also at this track) was underwhelming..
13th	19 13th (19) (8/1 -23%) Markievicz	8 8/1(-23%)	(19) Markievicz 8/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 23-runner handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft, 9/1) 25 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Stable having good spell. Another bold show likely. Revived after three months off to win a 5.5f Navan handicap on soft ground last month..
14th	10 14th (10) (11/1 +21%) Cailin Cliste	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) Cailin Cliste 11/1, C&D winner. 9/1, fifteenth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good). Off 8 months. Won over C&D last April on the back of an even lengthier break..
15th	20 15th (20) (16/1 -78%) Monitola	16 16/1(-78%)	(20) Monitola 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 15 days ago, not knocked about. Down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed handicap debutant but questionable whether 6f is his trip..
16th	11 16th (11) (50/1 -25%) Adams Barbour	50 50/1(-25%)	(11) Adams Barbour 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 25/1). Off 180 days. All seven wins have been on the AW and he's 0-14 on turf; not hard to turn elsewhere..
17th	5 17th (5) (28/1 -75%) Anatoli	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Anatoli 28/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 7/2). Off 8 months and been given every chance by the handicapper. 0-8 since debut win and is best watched on this return from another lengthy break..
18th	16 18th (16) (50/1 +0%) Above It All	50 50/1(+0%)	(16) Above It All 50/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 66/1, 5½ lengths twenty first of 25 to Admiral Nelson in handicap at Cork (7f, good) 21 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has yet to find his form for John McConnell and was behind a few of these at Cork..
19th	2 19th (2) (14/1 -100%) Admiral Nelson	14 14/1(-100%)	(2) Admiral Nelson 14/1, Course winner. Won 25-runner handicap (40/1) at Cork (7f, good) 21 days ago, keeping on well. Retains handicap scope. Workmanlike winner over 7f at Cork; this return to 6f might find him out..
20th	12 20th (12) (66/1 -65%) Astral Beat	66 66/1(-65%)	(12) Astral Beat 66/1, 16/5, fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (5f). Off 7 months. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving William Knight. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has work to do. Had 13 starts in Britain for William Knight, winning a 5f AW handicap; off since Oct..
21st	8 21st (8) (28/1 +15%) Mullacash Buzz	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Mullacash Buzz 28/1, 25/1, seventeenth of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Five-time winner who goes from the front but he hasn't raced over 6f in two years..

LTO Selection:

LADY ARWEN arrives on the back of her best effort for a short while and she could be primed to make a big impact on her debut run for Connor O'Dwyer. Her sole previous win came off 1lb higher and, given Jake Coen pitches in with his 5lb claim, this daughter of Postponed has a live chance at the weights. Midnight Fire heads a long list of dangers, with the likes of Admiral Nelson, Grigal and Markievicz all shortlisted as having something to offer too.

GEGENPRESSING was a pretty big eye-catcher at Naas last month and just 1 lb above his last winning mark, he's certainly weighted to strike. Admiral Nelson and Markievicz both won big-field handicaps last time and just a couple of potential threats.

The 6yo MIDNIGHT FIRE seems to need this sort of ground and won't be at all inconvenienced by returning to 6f after a good latest run.

20:30 Curragh NH Flat Race 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (2.25/1 +44%) Lionnar	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(6) Lionnar 2.25/1, 7/2 and hooded, fourth of 15 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good to soft) on debut 24 days ago. In good hands and likely to build on that. Fourth at Killarney when perhaps not seen to best effect off modest fractions..
2	5 2nd (5) (33/1 -32%) Beauforts Storm	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Beauforts Storm 33/1, Gale Force Ten filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Storm Steps. Dam little impact in 2 starts over hurdles. Gale Force Ten half-sister to 1m4f winner Storm Steps (RPR 79); lacks experience..
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 +0%) Mont Beuvray	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Mont Beuvray 25/1, 80/1, ninth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Soon left behind when the tempo picked up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick..
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 +0%) Huntsgrove	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) Huntsgrove 25/1, Kalanisi gelding. Dam (b83), lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Grangeclare Lark. Third foal; dam fourth in bumper from three starts; probably up against it..
5th	1 5th (1) (1.5/1 +14%) Bumble Bee Bet	1.5 1.5/1(+14%)	(1) Bumble Bee Bet 1.5/1, Heavily backed and made the perfect start in 11-runner bumper at Ayr (16f, good) on debut 46 days ago, responding well. Likely has more to offer. Nicely on top late on to beat a penalised winner in a good-ground bumper at Ayr..
6th	2 6th (2) (1.88/1 -25%) Extrapolation	1.88 1.88/1(-25%)	(2) Extrapolation 1.88/1, Made third bumper start a winning one at Downpatrick last month. 4/1, second of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 15 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers and he's a big player. Point/bumper winner and last time finished second of 16 in a Punchestown maiden hurdle..

LTO Selection:

The standard is set by EXTRAPOLATION, who reverts to the Flat following a creditable second over timber at Punchestown. The gelded son of Mahler saw off a full-brother to dual Cheltenham Festival winner Presenting Percy - the Gordon Elliott-trained Valsorpresa - in emphatic style at Downpatrick on his penultimate run, and a 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to hold him back here. Bumble Bee Bet appears to be his most serious danger following a staying-on success at Ayr in April, while Lionnar adds further spice to the race.

No surprise were previous winners BUMBLE BEE BET and Extrapolation to come to the fore here, with marginal preference for the Charles Byrnes-trained runner given he arguably possesses more scope on this just his second start. Lionnar is the other one of interest.

Point/bumper winner EXTRAPOLATION is more battle-hardened than his market rivals and yet he's steadily progressive by the looks.

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.
