Promising fifth of 12 in maiden (7/1) at this C&D (good) on debut 23 days ago, not knocked about. Tongue strap on 1st time. Better to come.

Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f/1m winner), won Queen Anne/Breeders' Cup Mile from a very good US family. 1 of 2 noteworthy newcomers for top stable. Third foal out of 2016 Queen Anne winner Tepin who was a multiple American Grade 1 winner.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +0%) Sakti	9 9/1(+0%)	(7) Sakti 9/1, Foaled April 10. €52,000 foal, Caravaggio filly. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner from family of Dewhurst/National Stakes winner Teofilo. Third foal, dam 7f juvenile winner out of once-raced sister to the useful Via Galilei.
1	1 (1) (10/1 -11%) Camelot Alexander	10 10/1(-11%)	(1) Camelot Alexander 10/1, Foaled March 4. Camelot filly. Half-sister to useful US 1m winner World Tax War and winner up to 1¼m Don Julio. Dam Remember Alexander was a 7f Group 3 winner at two and has produced a couple of winners.
6	6 (6) (25/1 -14%) Queen Of Thunder	25 25/1(-14%)	(6) Queen Of Thunder 25/1, Foaled January 10. €340,000 yearling, Night of Thunder filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Parfait. Cost E340,000, first foal, dam 1m2f AW winner but plenty of speed in the pedigree.
2	2 (2) (28/1 +0%) Glamora	28 28/1(+0%)	(2) Glamora 28/1, Twice-raced filly. 15/2, sixth of 11 in maiden at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Vulnerable. One of only two runners with experience but needs to find plenty in order to feature here.
5	5 (5) (28/1 +0%) Prime Art	28 28/1(+0%)	(5) Prime Art 28/1, Foaled April 3. €110,000 yearling, Churchill filly. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, closely related to 2-y-o 7f (Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère) winner Horatio Nelson and winner up to 1¼m Viscount Nelson (both very smart) out of Imagine (won Oaks/Irish 1000 Guineas). Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Dam 1m juvenile winner and closely related to Group 1 winner Horatio Nelson.
10	10 (10) (100/1 +0%) The Crafty Girl	100 100/1(+0%)	(10) The Crafty Girl 100/1, Foaled March 3. Mastercraftsman filly. Sister to winner up to 8.6f Nezar and 1m/9f winner Italian King and half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m winner Ottilie. Dam unraced. Half-sister to prolific minor winner Nezar and to other winners, faces tough task on debut.

LTO Selection:

The Ballydoyle pair Grateful and MAYFAIR both command attention, but the latter, who is an entrant in the Phoenix and Moyglare Stakes, could be worth siding with as she makes her debut at this level. This appears to be a perfect starting point for this daughter of Justify and she is hard to get away from. Camelot Alexander also has an appealing profile and, along with expensive purchase Queen Of Thunder, also has to be considered.

Often an informative fillies maiden and without market clues for the newcomers TEN DEEP is taken to build on her very promising debut here 3 weeks ago and come out on top now fitted with a tongue tie. Mayfair and Prime Art are a couple of the debutantes who make the most appeal on paper.

The maiden in which TEN DEEP finished fifth seems to have had considerable depth. The experience may give her an edge over Mayfair

14:30 Curragh Maiden 6f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (2.75/1 +0%) Letsbefrankaboutit	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(3) Letsbefrankaboutit 2.75/1, €40,000 yearling, €240,000 2-y-o. Half-brother to 3 winners, including Moojim (2-y-o 5f winner) and 2-y-o 5f winner Lady Ayresome, while his dam was also a 2-y-o 6f winner. Lots to like on paper and Group-race entries suggest that he's well-regarded. E240,000 breeze-up buy, fifth foal; half-brother to three winners, dam 6f juvenile winner.
4	4 (4) (3/1 +0%) Temple Of Hera	3 3/1(+0%)	(4) Temple Of Hera 3/1, Promising sort. 11/2, third of 6 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 57 days ago. That experience won't be wasted on him and should make his presence felt. Ran a bit green when third here on his debut, closely matched with Kortez Bay.
2	2 (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Kortez Bay	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(2) Kortez Bay 3.5/1, Promising individual. 9/1, fourth of 18 in maiden at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, slowly away. Holds a Group 1 entry and while he has some way to go to be considered for that level, the scope is certainly there for improvement. Has shown definite potential in finishing fourth on first two starts, should be in the mix.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +0%) Limoncello Lady	8 8/1(+0%)	(9) Limoncello Lady 8/1, Foaled February 8. Magna Grecia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 6f Encrypted and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Gisburn. Dam French 1m winner. Likely-looking type and she needs close attention in the betting. 80,000gns yearling; ninth foal; half-sister to four winners including a US Listed scorer.
15	15 (15) (11/1 +8%) Spicy Water	11 11/1(+8%)	(15) Spicy Water 11/1, Twice-raced filly. 14/1, fourth of 14 in maiden at Limerick (7f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Likely to pick up a race at some point but will find easier opportunities than this. Progress from debut when fourth behind the subsequent Chesham winner Snellen at Limerick.
13	13 (13) (20/1 +0%) Speedwood	20 20/1(+0%)	(13) Speedwood 20/1, Foaled April 28. €6,000 yearling, €50,000 2-y-o, Garswood colt. Half-brother to winner up to 1¼m Hariasa and 2-y-o 5.5f winner Capitano, both in France. Dam French 2-y-o 5.5f-7f winner. Like stablemate Carthaginian, he's probaby best watched on debut. E42,000 breeze-up purchase, fourth foal; half-brother to French winners dam won in France.
11	11 (11) (20/1 +9%) Shes Scintillating	20 20/1(+9%)	(11) Shes Scintillating 20/1, €42,000 yearling. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs) from family of Yorkshire Oaks winner/St Leger second Hellenic, herself dam of Greek Dance and Islington. Market should point the way. E42,000 yearling, second foal; dam juvenile winner, half-sister to several winners.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +11%) Perfect Judgement	25 25/1(+11%)	(7) Perfect Judgement 25/1, Foaled January 20. €100,000 2-y-o, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Shalailah. Dam 6f winner. Worth a second look in the betting. E100,000 breeze-up buy, half-brother to Group-placed 7f AW 2yo winner Shalailah.
1	1 (1) (33/1 +0%) Goal Exceeded	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Goal Exceeded 33/1, Foaled April 11. £48,000 yearling, Iffraaj colt. Brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Galaxy Gazer and half-brother to 5f winner Raabeh. Entitled to come on for the run. Fourth foal, brother to a 6f AW winner and half-brother to 5f AW winner, stable going well.
6	6 (6) (33/1 +0%) Carthaginian	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Carthaginian 33/1, Foaled May 1. 11,000 gns foal, £25,000 yearling, Mayson gelding. Brother to 5f/6f winner Boundary Lane and half-brother to 1¼m winner Poet's Preem. Yard's strike rate with 2-y-os is modest and he's probably best watched this time. Tenth foal, winning dam does not have a great record at stud, others make more appeal.
12	12 (12) (33/1 +0%) Secret Jungle	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Secret Jungle 33/1, €12,500 foal, €17,000 yearling. Closely related to 5f/6f winner Time Douglas and 2-y-o 5f winner Absolute Beginners and half-brother to 5.7f-7f winner Macs Dilemma. Dam, 5f winner. Interesting to see what the market has to say. Closely related to a couple of winners in Italy, jockey booking the main positive.
16	16 (16) (40/1 +0%) Si Senior	40 40/1(+0%)	(16) Si Senior 40/1, Twice-raced filly. 33/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course. Has shown signs of promise on her first two starts but more likely as a nursery candidate.
10	10 (10) (50/1 +0%) Sakakawea	50 50/1(+0%)	(10) Sakakawea 50/1, Foaled March 31. Sioux Nation filly. Dam, 1m winner, sister to smart winner up to 8.6f Buckstay. Chances are, she will be all the better for the experience. Dam a 1m Dundalk winner who is a sister to the useful Buckstay, likely to need experience..
14	14 (14) (50/1 +0%) Four Blondes	50 50/1(+0%)	(14) Four Blondes 50/1, Foaled April 24. €36,000 yearling, €62,000 2-y-o, Gleneagles filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Jaxta. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), later 6.5f winner in USA. Yard rarely strikes with juveniles. E62,000 breeze-up buy, half-sister to juvenile winner Jaxta, dam won at sprint trips.
5	5 (5) (66/1 +0%) Kendall Roy	66 66/1(+0%)	(5) Kendall Roy 66/1, Foaled March 21. 38,000 gns foal, Twilight Son colt. Dam, 5f/6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Lockheed out of useful winner up to 8.5f (2-y-o 7f winner) Clinical. Others are more appealing. First foal out of a winning sprinter by Invincible Spirit, not an obvious contender.
8	8 (8) (80/1 +0%) Verified	80 80/1(+0%)	(8) Verified 80/1, Foaled May 4. Camacho gelding. Closely related to smart winner up to 6f Taxiwala and useful 5f winner Kodama and half-brother to useful winner up to 5.3f Billy Dylan. Will only be of interest on debut if the market vibes are notably upbeat. Dam has produced winners who have shown plenty of speed, stable seeking first winner.

LTO Selection:

In an open contest it may be sensible to side with SPICY WATER, who has racecourse experience on her side and ran very well over 7f at Navan last month. Newcomer Letsbefrankaboutit is taken to follow her home after impressing at the breeze-up sales in May. The once-raced Temple Of Hera and the more experienced Kortez Bay could also have some say in a contest well worth watching.

Newcomer LETSBEFRANKABOUTIT looks the part on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Indeed, the Sioux Nation colt is bred to make a 2-y-o and entries in the Gimcrack and National Stakes suggest that he has been showing the right signs at home. Kortez Bay and Temple of Hera are both open to improvement and rate the main dangers (in that order of preference), while Limoncello Lady is another newcomer to note.

Not much to go on her and perhaps LETSBEFRANKABOUTIT will be good enough to make a winning debut for Paddy Twomey

14:30 Curragh Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:00 Curragh Group 2 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
6	6 (6) (3/1 +0%) Jumbly	3 3/1(+0%)	(6) Jumbly 3/1, Smart filly. Respectable 3 lengths fourth of 10 to Rogue Millennium in Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 10/3) 32 days ago. Drop back to 7f looks a good move and she's a strong contender. Group 2 second over 1m here in May, Ryan Moore sticks with her after Royal Ascot fourth.
11	11 (11) (3.33/1 +0%) Tarawa	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(11) Tarawa 3.33/1, Lightly-raced winner. Creditable ½-length second of 9 to Bold Discovery in listed race at this course (8f, good to firm, 13/8) 21 days ago, well positioned. Major player. Irish 1,000 Guineas fourth, looks best of her age-group here but perhaps vulnerable.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +9%) Honey Girl	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Honey Girl 5/1, Useful filly. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 7/1, 6¾ lengths ninth of 10 to Rogue Millennium in Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Not without each-way hope. C&D Group 3 winner, has since finished behind stablemate Jumbly here and at Royal Ascot.
2	2 (2) (6.5/1 +0%) Power Under Me	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(2) Power Under Me 6.5/1, Smart gelding. 9/1, won 6-runner Amethyst Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 77 days ago by ½ length from You Send Me. Likely to be in the thick of things once again. Suited by plenty of cut in the ground, leading chance on the basis of Group 3 win in May.
8	8 (8) (7/1 +0%) Lord Massusus	7 7/1(+0%)	(8) Lord Massusus 7/1, Useful gelding. 15/2, respectable 3¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Bold Discovery in listed race at this course (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Likely to find one or two too good. Reliable and progressive sort, has almost 3l to find with Tarawa on running here last time.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +0%) Cosmic Vega	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Cosmic Vega 10/1, Useful gelding. 14/1, career best when winning 11-runner listed race at Naas (7f, good to firm) 63 days ago by short head from Sharlouk, just holding on. Another personal best will be needed if he's to follow up under a penalty in this higher grade. Gained first stakes win in a Listed race over this trip at Naas in May, needs to find more.
10	10 (10) (14/1 +0%) Salt Lake City	14 14/1(+0%)	(10) Salt Lake City 14/1, Useful colt. 7/4, respectable 4½ lengths fifth of 9 to Bold Discovery in listed race at this course (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Ryan Moore prefers Jumbly. Needs to reverse recent form course 1m form with Tarawa, Ryan Moore deserts him.
3	3 (3) (25/1 +0%) Real Appeal	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) Real Appeal 25/1, Useful gelding. One win from 3 runs this year, the latest at Dundalk in January. Creditable 1¼ lengths second of 6 to Ocean Jewel in Ballycorus Stakes (20/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 38 days ago. Each-way shout. Big price when fifth of six behind Power Under at Me at Leopardstown, better run last time.
9	9 (9) (40/1 +0%) Montesilvano	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) Montesilvano 40/1, Useful gelding. 74/10, 1¾ lengths third of 5 to Mysterious Night in Prix Francois Boutin at Deauville (7f, good to firm). Off 11 months (gelded in the interim) and tongue strap on 1st time here. Lowest-rated of four runners for his trainer, Group 3-placed at two, seasonal debut now.
4	4 (4) (50/1 +0%) Snapraeterea	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Snapraeterea 50/1, Useful gelding. Eighth of 19 in handicap (18/1) at Cork (7f, soft) 79 days ago. Yard saddles stronger candidates in Honey Girl and Jumbly. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Dual 7f Listed winner in 2021, lightly raced since, trainer has stronger contenders.
7	7 (7) (200/1 +0%) Alexander John	200 200/1(+0%)	(7) Alexander John 200/1, Useful colt. 8½ lengths tenth of 15 to Age of Kings in Jersey Stakes (100/1) at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Looks set for another struggle. Good reason to believe that he can win a race but no apparent chance at this level.

LTO Selection:

TARAWA's fourth in the 1,000 Guineas here stands out and she also accounted for Lord Massusus (fourth) and Salt Lake City (fifth) when a close second over that same C&D in a Listed race three weeks ago. Getting both an age and sex allowance, Dermot Weld's filly receives weight from them all and she is fancied to make a successful return to her winning trip. However, it won't be easy, with the latter capable of much better and Jumbly respected dropping back to 7f after big runs in defeat over further. Power Under Me and Honey Girl add further spice to an interesting contest.

This drop back to 7f could be just the ticket for JUMBLY, who weakened close home after looking a big threat around a furlong out in the Duke of Cambridge over a mile at Royal Ascot. Her form figures over this trip read 1412. Tarawa is a big player judged on her effort in the Irish 1000 Guineas and she subsequently had Lord Massusus and Salt Lake City behind when runner-up in a listed race. Power Under Me landed the Amethyst at Leopardstown when last seen in May and she also has claims.

Ryan Moore sticks with JUMBLY who is dropped in trip after two Group 2 attempts at 1m. She is slightly preferred to Tarawa

15:00 Curragh Group 2 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:30 Curragh Handicap 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (2.75/1 +8%) Mr King	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(3) Mr King 2.75/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Roscommon (10f, good to soft, 9/2) 19 days ago, responding well. Could kick on now. Beat an in-form rival on his handicap debut at Roscommon, 6lb higher, more progress likely.
8	8 (8) (4.5/1 +0%) Eastern Legend	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(8) Eastern Legend 4.5/1, Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 10/3) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Can surely find a race. Did not get the best of runs when third to Mr King at Roscommon, beaten favourite since.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +0%) Take Heart	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Take Heart 5/1, 4/9, won 13-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f) 135 days ago, well on top finish. Up in trip. Stable in good form. Makes handicap/turf debut. Open to improvement and big player. Handicapped on the basis of two Dundalk runs during the winter, not easy to assess.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +0%) Slieve Binnian	7 7/1(+0%)	(9) Slieve Binnian 7/1, Good fifth of 22 in handicap at this course (9f, good, 15/2) 23 days ago, never nearer. Merits consideration. 1m nursery winner at Dundalk, pleasing display on latest when staying on well over 1m1f.
1	1 (1) (9/1 +25%) Roaring Gallagher	9 9/1(+25%)	(1) Roaring Gallagher 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. 11/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in minor event at Naas (10f, good) 78 days ago, left poorly placed. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form. Useful form at two, never in the hunt when stepped up to this trip for seasonal debut.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +0%) Pearl Of Australia	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) Pearl Of Australia 10/1, Winner at Roscommon in May. Last of 9 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 10/1) 29 days ago, possibly amiss. Back down in trip. Roscommon maiden winner, Down Royal run too bad to be true, back to a more suitable trip.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +0%) Angelic Appeal	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Angelic Appeal 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 14 in maiden (4/1) at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has had three of her four outings over 1m4f, drop in trip may elicit improvement now.
2	2 (2) (18/1 +0%) Duke Of Leggagh	18 18/1(+0%)	(2) Duke Of Leggagh 18/1, Latest win at Navan in March. 6/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at Naas (10f, good) 78 days ago. Form has featured a Gowran win and two seconds including behind Paddington, could go close.
7	7 (7) (20/1 +0%) Savigny	20 20/1(+0%)	(7) Savigny 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (12.8f, good) 31 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Headgear combination tried now on handicap debut, maiden form not very convincing.

LTO Selection:

There are several to consider in a tightly-knit contest, with a tentative vote going to EASTERN LEGEND. Jim Bolger's gelding has been threatening to land a handicap of late and this return to 1m2f may be enough for the son of Teofilo to gain a breakthrough success. Mr King was a cosy winner on his handicap debut at Roscommon earlier in the month and is another to consider off 6lb higher, while Slieve Binnian could have more to offer now up in trip.

TAKE HEART could have plenty more to offer now handicapping and can pick up where he left off in March with another victory. Roscommon-winner Mr King and Eastern Legend are feared.

Roscommon winner MR KING (nap) is unexposed and can confirm form with Eastern Legend. Duke Of Leggagh rates a big danger

15:30 Curragh Handicap 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:00 Curragh Group 3 9f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (2.5/1 +0%) Cadeau Belle	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(4) Cadeau Belle 2.5/1, Won 12-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) on debut and followed up in 1m Navan listed race (good to soft) 32 days later. Surely more to come after only 2 starts. Nicely on top of Cigamia latest and, after just two starts, there should be more to come.
8	8 (8) (4/1 +11%) Village Voice	4 4/1(+11%)	(8) Village Voice 4/1, Useful form when winning Naas listed race on reappearance. 18/1, bit below form 13 lengths tenth of 17 to Warm Heart in Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot (12f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Back down in trip. Ground too fast at Ascot; previous Listed win on heavy makes her a player.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +9%) Jackie Oh	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Jackie Oh 5/1, Winner on Naas debut March. Better form in defeat on next 2 starts and better than she showed in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap last time. Has to bounce back from a quiet run at Ascot but previous efforts were positive.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +0%) Goldana	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Goldana 5/1, Smart filly. Won 7f course Group 3 on reappearance. Creditable 6¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Via Sistina in Pretty Polly Stakes at this course (10f, good, 33/1) 22 days ago. Stable in good form. Big player despite the penalty. Has to concede weight all round but her form is right up there; ran in in a Group 1 latest.
3	3 (3) (6/1 +0%) Moon De Vega	6 6/1(+0%)	(3) Moon De Vega 6/1, Useful filly. 2 wins from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner listed race (15/8) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 45 days ago by neck from Salt Lake City. Should go well on hat-trick bid. All out to win a Listed event latest and this company demands more from her.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +0%) Cigamia	10 10/1(+0%)	(2) Cigamia 10/1, Useful filly. 9/2, creditable 2½ lengths second of 8 to Zarinsk in Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Likeable filly but no good thing to reverse recent placings with Cadeau Belle.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +0%) Keep In Touch	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Keep In Touch 14/1, Useful filly. Respectable 4¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Caroline Street in Blue Wind Stakes (10/1) at Naas (10f, good) 78 days ago. Stable in good form. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Useful 2yo but quiet this campaign and back from a break with cheekpieces tried.
7	7 (7) (20/1 +0%) Lambada	20 20/1(+0%)	(7) Lambada 20/1, Fairly useful filly. 14¾ lengths tenth of 11 to Shamida in Stanerra Stakes (10/1) at Leopardstown (14f, good) 10 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Others preferred. Has to find improvement from somewhere and she's starting to look exposed.

LTO Selection:

VILLAGE VOICE (first) got the better of Jackie Oh (second) when the pair met in the Salsabil at Navan in April before finishing down the field in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot. The daughter of Zarak may not have appreciated faster ground on that occasion and she is entitled to step forward once again, especially with conditions more in her favour. The aforementioned Jackie Oh also arrives following a below-par effort in the Sandringham but is worth another chance, while the unbeaten Cadeau Belle and Goldana complete the shortlist.

CADEAU BELLE coped with the jump to listed company at Navan last time and can take the next step up the ladder and stretch her unbeaten record to 3. Gladness winner Goldana is second choice ahead of Paddy Twomey's hat-trick seeking Moon de Vega.

The 3yo CADEAU BELLE smacks of a filly with plenty more to offer if her taking defeat of Cigamia at Navan is anything to go by.

16:30 Curragh Handicap 5f - 18 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Jon Riggens	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) Jon Riggens 4.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Navan in May. Pulled up in C&D handicap (good to firm, 4/1) won by Harry's Hill 21 days ago, lost all chance at start. Should be thereabouts if avoiding any mishaps at the start this time. Forget last time as he lost all chance at the start and he was favourite for that.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +0%) Parting Glass	7 7/1(+0%)	(5) Parting Glass 7/1, Winner at Navan in May. Good second of 17 in handicap (13/2) at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Needs to raise his game a touch but not completely discounted. Contesting only his second handicap when second of 17 under a big weight at Navan.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +0%) So Majestic	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) So Majestic 7/1, Career best when winning 23-runner handicap (4/1) at Naas (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Sosallycanwait, cosily. Hit hard by the assessor for that (raised 12 lb) but she's a big player nonetheless. Comes here after winning two 5f good-ground handicaps five days apart in June; more needed.
2	2 (2) (8/1 +0%) Harry's Hill	8 8/1(+0%)	(2) Harry's Hill 8/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 14/1) 21 days ago. 4 lb rise could be enough to anchor him. Prevailed in a bunched finish here recently; 4lb rise not the end of the world.
10	10 (10) (8/1 +0%) Cavallo Pazzo	8 8/1(+0%)	(10) Cavallo Pazzo 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. 8/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy). Off 109 days and back down in trip here for new yard. Still has low mileage and he needs a second look. First run for this yard; good form in 5f/6f maidens and 7f stretched him on h'cap debut.
9	9 (9) (9/1 +0%) Mymomentintime	9 9/1(+0%)	(9) Mymomentintime 9/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good, 5/2) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration. Higher in the weights than for last year's C&D success but seems to be improving.
12	12 (12) (9/1 +0%) Shoebox King	9 9/1(+0%)	(12) Shoebox King 9/1, Blinkered for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft, 13/2) 8 days ago, driven out. 6 lb rise fair enough and needs considering. Seemingly better for blinkers when winning at Navan; up 6lb; rain a bonus.
4	4 (4) (14/1 +0%) Gabriella's Spirit	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Gabriella's Spirit 14/1, 18/1, good third of 13 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 22 days ago, sticking to task. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she's not without each-way hope. Up 4lb for latest third that but she appears to be improving and goes on all ground.
18	18 (18) (14/1 +0%) Sosallycanwait	14 14/1(+0%)	(18) Sosallycanwait 14/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 15 to Shoebox King in handicap (5/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Travels well but doesn't always find for pressure and a stiff 5f tends to find her out.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +0%) Son Of Sampers	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Son Of Sampers 16/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 13/2) 25 days ago. Stable in good form. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Cork maiden winner who has yet to offer a great deal in his three handicaps.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +0%) Sounds Of Spring	16 16/1(+0%)	(11) Sounds Of Spring 16/1, C&D winner. 9/2, last of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy). Off 106 days. Wouldn't be without a chance if he were to put his best foot forward. At his best at about this trip on testing ground and he won over C&D last October.
6	6 (6) (18/1 +0%) Little Queenie	18 18/1(+0%)	(6) Little Queenie 18/1, Won 5-runner handicap (9/2) at Naas (5.9f, good) 15 days ago. More on her plate up 6 lb in this tougher race. Made all for breakthrough turf win at Naas; each-way claims despite being 6lb higher.
3	3 (3) (20/1 +0%) Polar Bear	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Polar Bear 20/1, Latest win at Bellewstown in April. 16/1, last of 15 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 57 days ago. Back down in trip and place possibilities if able to bounce back. Yet to win a handicap but has it in him and any rain would be welcomed.
14	14 (14) (40/1 +0%) Un Bacio Ancora	40 40/1(+0%)	(14) Un Bacio Ancora 40/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 28/1) 78 days ago, slowly away. Has work to do. Runs well now and again but this is a tough race in which to shed her maiden status (0-18).
15	15 (15) (40/1 +0%) Shimmerz	40 40/1(+0%)	(15) Shimmerz 40/1, Course winner. Winner here in May. 8/1, bit below form eighth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 11 days ago. Down in trip. Others more persuasive. 7f course win in May came out of the blue; this a belated first run over 5f.
16	16 (16) (40/1 +0%) Pretty Boy Floyd	40 40/1(+0%)	(16) Pretty Boy Floyd 40/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Eleventh of 17 in handicap (28/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Others make appeal from a win point of view. Always respected if there's mud flying but strike-rate of 4-46 reduces his appeal.
17	17 (17) (40/1 +0%) Art Of Unity	40 40/1(+0%)	(17) Art Of Unity 40/1, C&D winner. 33/1, 20 lengths last of 23 to So Majestic in handicap at Naas (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Looks up against it. Five-time winner but he's been out of form for a while now and this looks no easier.
13	13 (13) (66/1 +0%) Aloysius Lilius	66 66/1(+0%)	(13) Aloysius Lilius 66/1, 22/1, first run since leaving G. O'Leary when twelfth of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good) 18 days ago. Others have achieved more. Hasn't been at his best since winning at Bellewstown last September.

LTO Selection:

A tentative vote goes to MYMOMENTINTIME, who has hinted at a return to winning ways with some solid placed efforts the last twice at Tipperary and Naas. A winner over C&D last October, the son of Kantharos is narrowly preferred to the hat-trick-seeking So Majestic and Rockingham winner Harry's Hill. Jon Riggens is far better than what he showed in that latter contest and is another to consider, along with the unexposed Parting Glass and Gabriella's Spirit.

The handicapper has taken a swipe at SO MAJESTIC following her cosy success in a similar big-field handicap at Naas last month but she is clearly on the up and may well complete the hat-trick. Though Jon Riggens hardly covered himself in glory at the start in the C&D handicap won by Harry's Hill, he was in good form prior to that and should be involved in the finish, all being well. The unexposed Cavallo Pazzo is of interest on debut for Joseph O'Brien and Mymomentintime also merits respect.

A darker one to consider is CAVALLO PAZZO, who was promising in maidens and now reverts to sprinting.

16:30 Curragh Handicap 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:00 Curragh Maiden 12f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (2.25/1 +0%) Fisherman's Beach	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(4) Fisherman's Beach 2.25/1, Promising sort. Third of 12 in maiden (7/1) at Limerick (12.3f, good) on debut 29 days ago. Open to improvement and he's one of 3 live candidates for this yard. Started slowly but worked his way into contention and finished third at Limerick.
8	8 (8) (4/1 +0%) Milwaukee	4 4/1(+0%)	(8) Milwaukee 4/1, Lightly-raced colt. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Limerick (12.3f, good, 11/8) 29 days ago. Blinkers back on. Represents powerful connections but this colt needs to find some improvement. Not short of ability but doesn't appear to be progressing and needs to find more.
7	7 (7) (5.5/1 +0%) Jupiter Rock	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(7) Jupiter Rock 5.5/1, Twice-raced colt. 6/4, fourth of 17 in maiden at this course (10f, good) 23 days ago. Remains capable of better and, like stablemates Fisherman's Beach and Ikigai Star, he's worthy of consideration. Looks ready for 1m4f after keeping on well to take third over 1m2f here 23 days ago.
6	6 (6) (6/1 +0%) Ikigai Star	6 6/1(+0%)	(6) Ikigai Star 6/1, Thrice-raced colt. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Roscommon (10f, good to soft, 14/1) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he's capable of a bold show. Initial promise not built upon when only fifth on his recent handicap debut.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +0%) Feathertop	7 7/1(+0%)	(9) Feathertop 7/1, Promising type. Third of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 16/1) on debut 35 days ago. Moving up in trip here may help unlock some improvement. Responded well for pressure to hit the frame at Gowran and is entitled to improve.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +0%) Hardpoint	9 9/1(+0%)	(5) Hardpoint 9/1, Camelot colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1½m-1¾m winner El Habeeb and 1¼m-1½m winner Gold Wand, both smart. Appealing pedigree and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say. Yard also saddles Feathertop. Belated debut but nicely bred and needs checking in the betting.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +0%) Gatsby Grey	14 14/1(+0%)	(3) Gatsby Grey 14/1, Useful jumps winner. Twice-raced gelding on Flat. Fifth of 8 in minor event (7/1) at Leopardstown (15f, good) 10 days ago. More needed. Better known as a jumper and a pretty smart one; opposable on his Flat form.
1	1 (1) (33/1 +0%) Doctor Parnassus	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Doctor Parnassus 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Warwick (19f, good to soft) 87 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Dan Skelton. Performed well on latest start in this sphere but that was some time ago. Useful hurdler in Britain before losing his way; recently bought for £10,000.
10	10 (10) (50/1 +0%) Mambo De La Luna	50 50/1(+0%)	(10) Mambo De La Luna 50/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, eighth of 13 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Beaten double-digit lengths in middle-distance maidens at Bellewstown and Killarney.
11	11 (11) (50/1 +0%) Teorema	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) Teorema 50/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, twelfth of 17 in maiden at this course (10f, good) on debut 23 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. 25-1 for her debut here over 1m2f and finished down the field.
2	2 (2) (100/1 +0%) Futurum Regem	100 100/1(+0%)	(2) Futurum Regem 100/1, Modest gelding. 250/1, tailed-off eighth of 9 to Home By The Lee in Lismullen Hurdle at Navan (20f, soft). Off 8 months and form in this sphere is modest. Not a bad hurdler but has no form claims on his Flat achievements.

LTO Selection:

A strong case can be made for plenty of these but marginal preference is for FISHERMAN'S BEACH, after his promising debut effort at Limerick last month. That form was boosted when the second won earlier in the week and this son of Sea The Stars should only improve for that experience. Feathertop has a similar profile to the selection and could prove to be the main danger. Ikigai Star and Jupiter Rock are others with strong form claims, while Hardpoint is a newcomer to note.

There were certainly positives to glean from the debut effort of FISHERMAN'S BEACH at Limerick and, with improvement on the cards, he could be the answer. Feathertop also shaped with promise first time out at Gowran and she is second choice. The selection's stablemates Ikigai Star and Jupiter Rock should both be on the premises, too, while Milwaukee is also likely to make his presence felt.

Not a straightforward maiden to unravel. FISHERMAN'S BEACH shaped particularly well in what could prove a good Limerick maiden.

17:00 Curragh Maiden 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:30 Curragh Handicap 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
8	8 (8) (6/1 +8%) Green Sky	6 6/1(+8%)	(8) Green Sky 6/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 6-runner maiden at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good, 11/4) 27 days ago. More needed now handicapping but she's unexposed and in good hands. Recent maiden winner open to any amount of improvement now sent into handicaps.
6	6 (6) (6.5/1 +0%) Miss Abby Jools	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(6) Miss Abby Jools 6.5/1, Two wins from 4 runs this year. 3/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Limerick (8f, good to soft) 39 days ago, driven out. Looks competitive on form. Kept clear of the deepest ground when winning at Limerick (soft); 9lb higher for third.
10	10 (10) (6.5/1 +7%) Fools Glory	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(10) Fools Glory 6.5/1, 12/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 6 days ago. This is a deeper race but she's by no means a forlorn hope. Could have done with it even softer than the yielding when runner-up at Killarney.
1	1 (1) (7/1 +0%) All Lies Ahead	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) All Lies Ahead 7/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in April. Seventeenth of 20 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 58 days ago. Has good chance on form. Good ground was against her last time and has shown she can cope with this mark.
2	2 (2) (9/1 +0%) Plume Noire	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Plume Noire 9/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap (8/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 35 days ago, cosily. Needs considering. Won only narrowly at Gowran but the placed horses have upheld the form; up 4lb.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +0%) Vadiana	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) Vadiana 10/1, 9/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Roscommon (7.2f, good) 52 days ago, slowly away. 1 lb lower now and she has to enter calculations. Finished well for third at Roscommon and returning to 1m looks a major plus.
7	7 (7) (10/1 +0%) Lady Arwen	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Lady Arwen 10/1, Won 9-runner handicap (3/1) at Limerick (7f, good) 29 days ago, always holding on. Booking of Lee a plus and another bold show likely. Good value for her Limerick win but effectively 11lb higher here, so more needed.
12	12 (12) (10/1 +0%) Golden Spangle	10 10/1(+0%)	(12) Golden Spangle 10/1, 13/2, creditable second of 14 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 5 days ago, no match for winner. Stable in good form but she needs to raise her game a touch. 0-12 but continues to bang on the door in maiden and handicap company.
5	5 (5) (11/1 +8%) Persian Queen	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Persian Queen 11/1, Latest win at Cork in May. Creditable seventh of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 14/1) 5 days ago, needing stiffer test. Place possibilities. Conditions could come right but she does look in the handicapper's grip.
11	11 (11) (11/1 +8%) Mere Accountant	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) Mere Accountant 11/1, Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Tipperary (7.4f, good) 18 days ago. Very much one to consider. Back to form over shorter at Tipperary and returning to further looks a plus.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +11%) Arthur's Victory	16 16/1(+11%)	(9) Arthur's Victory 16/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. Creditable eighth of 22 in handicap at this course (9f, good, 25/1) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Shouldn't be too far away. No closer than eighth in her two runs in Ireland (1m1f) and has to raise her game.
3	3 (3) (18/1 +18%) Pandora Lovegood	18 18/1(+18%)	(3) Pandora Lovegood 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. 11/1, 10½ lengths last of 10 to Basil Martini in Weld Park Stakes at this course (7f, soft). Off 10 months. Has work to do. Dual 2yo winner; could have some potential off this mark and rain welcomed.

LTO Selection:

GREEN SKY left the form of her debut run behind to score at Ballinrobe last month. The daughter of Mastercraftsman doesn't look overburdened by an opening mark of 81 and, with softening ground conditions unlikely to pose a problem, she could continue her progress. All Lies Ahead finished down the field in a premier handicap here in May but she merits respect in these calmer waters, while Plume Noire and Miss Abby Jools are also noted.

It could be worth chancing ARTHUR'S VICTORY, who shaped well on her second for present yard over 9f here last time and dropping back to 7f could be just the ticket for this 5-y-o. Miss Abby Jools did the job well at Limerick and she will be a threat if on-song, while Vadiana (third choice) heads a shortlist of several others with claims in this open-looking race. including All Lies Ahead, Plume Noire and Mere Accountant.

Green Sky is naturally interesting but ALL LIES AHEAD is not one to be underestimated with plenty of rain about.

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.
