13:45 Curragh 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (18/1 -112%) Geryon	18 18/1(-112%)	(3) Geryon 18/1, 17 Apr; Lope De Vega colt; full-brother to De Boode, useful at 8f; probably best watched on debut. Yard has a strong team of juveniles so any market support on debut should be noted.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/1 +7%) Kensington Lane	7 7/1(+7%)	(9) Kensington Lane 7/1, Improved when upped in trip but was a bit keen and caught late, finishing second beaten a head in a maiden at Down Royal. Steadily progressing. Touched off at Down Royal; may need to improve further to play major role here.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/1 -40%) Charles Fort	7 7/1(-40%)	(2) Charles Fort 7/1, Runner-up, beaten 2 1/2l, behind a more experienced winner in a 6f Fairyhouse maiden on debut. Yard has won the last two runnings of this race and is the top course trainer. Should improve and will stay 7f. Green, looked to be crying out for this trip on Fairyhouse debut; respected.
4	1 4th (1) (13/8 +0%) Al Haarith	1.625 13/8(+0%)	(1) Al Haarith 13/8, Green and missed the break before meeting trouble when third, beaten 4 1/4l, on debut in a maiden here. Yard has won 2 of the last 5 renewals and he should improve significantly with a smoother passage. Eyecatching C&D debut in late June; form working out well; big player.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 -20%) Hawk Mountain	3 3/1(-20%)	(4) Hawk Mountain 3/1, 27 Mar; Wootton Bassett colt; half-brother to Officer, high-class at 8f; dam top-class at 8f. Yard has won the last two renewals, and the jockey/trainer combination is top-class at this course. Well-bred debutant son of Wootton Bassett, has to be worth a market check.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +52%) Port Of Spain	12 12/1(+52%)	(6) Port Of Spain 12/1, 26 Mar; St Mark's Basilica colt; half-brother to Free Wind, top-class at 12f; dam high-class at 8f. Yard has won the last two renewals and is the top course trainer. 130,000euros St Mark's Basilica colt; lesser likely of the Ballydoyle trio.
7th	8 7th (8) (5/1 +55%) Tashakour	5 5/1(+55%)	(8) Tashakour 5/1, Promising debut when beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden here. The form of that race has been emphatically franked and he should improve. Encouraging C&D debut last month, improvement expected here.
8th	5 8th (5) (100/1 -52%) Oppenheimer	100 100/1(-52%)	(5) Oppenheimer 100/1, Very green on modest debut when beaten 8l in a maiden at Leopardstown. Trainer is in form, and he should improve for that initial experience. Slow to break, never counted on Leopardstown debut; likely to need more time.
9th	10 9th (10) (300/1 -140%) Moonlight Molly	300 300/1(-140%)	(10) Moonlight Molly 300/1, Still green but showed improvement from debut when beaten 8 1/2l in an auction race at Leopardstown. Likely to need more time. 66-1 when soundly beaten in decent maidens at the Curragh and Leopardstown.
10th	7 10th (7) (80/1 -186%) Sleeper Hunter	80 80/1(-186%)	(7) Sleeper Hunter 80/1, 14 Jun; Starspangledbanner colt; half-brother to Star In The Making, smart at 6f; dam smart at 6f at 2yo. Yard has won 2 of the last 5 runnings and is a top trainer. Seemingly the yard's second-choice, likely all the better for the experience.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Ryan Moore rides the well-bred HAWK MOUNTAIN in preference to the more experienced Ballydoyle runner Charles Fort, who showed ability at Fairyhouse. By Wootton Bassett and out of a Group 1-winning mare who has already produced two Listed winners, the selection has a Doncaster Champagne Stakes entry and likely has smart ability. Geryon boasts a very notable Futurity Stakes entry and he is from a good family and by a leading sire. Al Haarith is noted too.

In all likelihood a strong maiden but a confident pick in AL HAARITH (nap), a real eyecatcher over C&D on Derby weekend

13:45 Curragh 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:15 Curragh 6f - 28 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (4/1 -45%) Mission Central	4 4/1(-45%)	(10) Mission Central 4/1, Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; big colt, green and pushed along, swerved under pressure when beaten 6l in a maiden over 5f at Dundalk on debut; returning from a break; should improve significantly and likely to get 6f. Beaten favourite on debut at Dundalk in April, gelded now, may leave that run behind him.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/2 +35%) Chicago Pope	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(4) Chicago Pope 13/2, Showed minor promise on debut when beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden at Naas; wide draw; should improve but must do more to threaten. Debut seventh of 17 at Naas can be upgraded since he was best of his group of seven.
3	19 3rd (19) (12/1 +0%) Whatchadoin	12 12/1(+0%)	(19) Whatchadoin 12/1, Improved for debut experience when dropped in trip under positive ride, finishing 5l third in a maiden at Naas; effective at a stiff 6f. Good Naas run, might struggle to uphold form with Watch Tower who was making his debut.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 -12%) Bad Boy Rizz	28 28/1(-12%)	(1) Bad Boy Rizz 28/1, Improved a little for debut experience when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 5-6f. Improved from debut when fourth at Fairyhouse just in front of Stock Market, more needed.
5th	18 5th (18) (10/3 +0%) Watch Tower	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(18) Watch Tower 10/3, Promising debut having missed the break when 5 1/4l fourth in a maiden at Naas; drawn on wing of large field; should improve if breaking on terms. Stable outsider when fourth at Naas, Keane takes over, may turn the tables on Whatchadoin.
6th	13 6th (13) (33/1 +0%) Soy El Fuego	33 33/1(+0%)	(13) Soy El Fuego 33/1, 27 Feb; 12,500 euros Aclaim gelding; half-brother to Another Romance, very smart at 6f; dam smart at 6f; probaby best watched on debut. Half-brother to four winners, Colin Keane rides the once-raced stablemate Watch Power.
7th	8 7th (8) (18/1 -50%) Hedjet	18 18/1(-50%)	(8) Hedjet 18/1, 21 Apr; 125,000gns breeze-up purchase by American Pharoah; half-brother to Segra, very useful at 10f; dam high-class at 12f; top trainer. 125,000gns Breeze Up buy, dam by Montjeu won a 1m4f Canadian Grade 1 for John Hammond.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/1 +0%) Controlled	9 9/1(+0%)	(6) Controlled 9/1, Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; 26 Mar; No Nay Never gelding; half-brother to Tiverton, smart at 7f; dam very smart at 8f; top course trainer; top trainer. Half-brother to two winners, dam a Listed-placed 6f winner, Ryan Moore on Mission Central.
9th	12 9th (12) (14/1 -75%) Profit Centre	14 14/1(-75%)	(12) Profit Centre 14/1, Matched debut form when fourth, beaten 4l in an auction race over 5f at Cork last time; trainer in form; probably his level, should be up to winning a maiden. Cork fourth over 5f showed he is beginning to get the hang of things, needs to find extra.
10th	23 10th (23) (16/1 +52%) Quinta Girl	16 16/1(+52%)	(23) Quinta Girl 16/1, 15 Apr; Sioux Nation filly; half-sister to Xian Express, very useful from 6f to 7f at 2yo; dam very smart at 5f at 2yo; wide draw; probaby best watched on debut. Closely related to a junior bumper winner; half-sister to winners abroad; best watched.
11th	16 11th (16) (20/1 -43%) Unionville	20 20/1(-43%)	(16) Unionville 20/1, 3 May; 60,000gns Havana Grey colt; half-brother to Cityman, very useful at 5f; cheekpieces first time; tough enough task on debut. Has cheekpieces on for debut, riding plans suggest he is the stable selected..
12th	29 12th (29) (40/1 +0%) Wingit	40 40/1(+0%)	(29) Wingit 40/1, 24 Feb; Gleneagles filly; half-sister to Mavericko, fair at 6f; dam smart at 5f at 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. One of three newcomers in the field for her trainer, unlikely to feature.
13th	9 13th (9) (100/1 -52%) John La Bear	100 100/1(-52%)	(9) John La Bear 100/1, Green and missed the break on debut when beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden over 7f at Leopardstown; drawn on wing of large field; should improve. Never in contention first time out in a 7f maiden at Leopardstown, safe to rule out..
14th	7 14th (7) (150/1 -127%) Glen Breeze	150 150/1(-127%)	(7) Glen Breeze 150/1, 12 Apr; Royal Lytham gelding; dam moderate at 8f; wide draw; yard in good form. First foal, dam a minor 7f AW winner, not one of the more likely contenders.
15th	5 15th (5) (40/1 -60%) Cisterna	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Cisterna 40/1, Bit below debut form after missing the break when beaten 9l in a maiden at Naas last time; looks level at present. Only one behind him here on debut, much improved at Naas after being gelded.
16th	30 16th (30) (28/1 +15%) Zusanne	28 28/1(+15%)	(30) Zusanne 28/1, 1 Feb; 3,500gns Territories filly; looks an unlikely winner on debut. First foal, not enough in her pedigree to make her a leading contender on debut.
17th	20 17th (20) (50/1 0%) Kiss Don't Tell	50 50/1(0%)	(20) Kiss Don't Tell 50/1, 8 Apr; 16,000gns Havana Grey filly; dam smart at 7f at 2yo; market should reveal more. Dam won on debut, trainer has a Listed-placed winning juvenile in his yard..
18th	2 18th (2) (66/1 -32%) Bay Of Supremacy	66 66/1(-32%)	(2) Bay Of Supremacy 66/1, Ran to form when stepped up in trip but finished down the field in an auction race here most recently; off a short break and likely one for nurseries. Will need to qualify for a handicap mark on the evidence of runs at Tipperary and C&D.
19th	28 19th (28) (80/1 -60%) War Saint	80 80/1(-60%)	(28) War Saint 80/1, Never put into the race and below debut form when unsuited by drop in trip in a maiden over 5f at Naas; wide draw; wants 6f at least; rides suggest handicaps may be the plan. Has finished in front of only one rival in each of her two starts, can be ruled out.
20th	26 20th (26) (40/1 +20%) The Cosy Corner	40 40/1(+20%)	(26) The Cosy Corner 40/1, 20 Feb; Cotai Glory filly; dam very useful from 10f to 19f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Dam won over 1m2f and is a half-sister to jumps winners, may find 6f inadequate.
21st	25 21st (25) (80/1 -300%) Star Reign	80 80/1(-300%)	(25) Star Reign 80/1, Matched debut form when beaten 4 1/4l in an auction race over 5f at Cork; off a short break; looks one for handicaps. Fifth in two 5f outings at Cork, possibly capable of minor success, this looks tough.
22nd	21 22nd (21) (300/1 -200%) Lazy River	300 300/1(-200%)	(21) Lazy River 300/1, Improved from debut but outclassed when beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden over 7f here last time; will need more time. Never involved at Roscommon, huge price when finishing in rear over 7f at this venue..
23rd	14 23rd (14) (10/1 +60%) Stock Market	10 10/1(+60%)	(14) Stock Market 10/1, Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; improved for debut experience when stepped up in trip under positive ride, beaten 5l in a maiden at Fairyhouse last time; blinkers first time; top course trainer; wide draw; could progress again. Half-brother to Group 1 juvenile winner Hotazhell, Ryan Moore on Mission Central.
24th	24 24th (24) (25/1 +24%) Simmering Seas	25 25/1(+24%)	(24) Simmering Seas 25/1, Outpaced and below debut form when unsuited by drop in trip, beaten 8l in a maiden over 5f at Naas; needs 6f at least. Two runs have been respectable but does not appeal as a likely maiden winner at this stage.
25th	17 25th (17) (66/1 -32%) Up To Ninety	66 66/1(-32%)	(17) Up To Ninety 66/1, Matched debut form when beaten 8l in an auction race over 7f at Galway; drawn on wing of large field; probably needs drop in grade. Mid-field runs at Leopardstown and Galway, 25-1 both times, not a likely fancy now.
26th	11 26th (11) (14/1 +44%) Mr Tony	14 14/1(+44%)	(11) Mr Tony 14/1, 6 Mar; 80,000gns Kodiac colt; half-brother to Sayfa Fad, fair at 9f; top trainer. Brother to an Italian 6f Group 3 winner, worth a look for future reference.
27th	22 27th (22) (125/1 -25%) Portmagee Girl	125 125/1(-25%)	(22) Portmagee Girl 125/1, Bit below debut form when down the field in a maiden over 5f at Tipperary; returning from a break; wide draw; plenty more needed. No sign of winning potential in 5f outings at Cork and Tipperary.
28th	3 28th (3) (40/1 0%) Buster's Universal	40 40/1(0%)	(3) Buster's Universal 40/1, 13 Mar; Acclamation colt; half-brother to Rockstar Icon, very useful at 7f; dam very useful at 10f; tough enough task on debut. Half-brother to two winners, dam 2m winner, second string for Unionville's trainer.

THE PUBLICAN'S SON was a 200,000-dollar purchase last March and might be useful. He should be suited by this sound surface and, given his connections, will likely know his job on debut. Mission Central raced green when disappointing on his Dundalk introduction but should be capable of better and has been gelded since. Stablemate Controlled is gelded ahead of his debut and is noted along with Watch Tower.

It may be worth forgiving MISSION CENTRAL an unconvincing display when favourite on his debut at Dundalk in April

14:15 Curragh 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:50 Curragh 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (9/1 -50%) Diamond Necklace	9 9/1(-50%)	(7) Diamond Necklace 9/1, 9 Feb; 1,700,000 euros St Mark's Basilica filly; half-sister to Magic Wand, top-class at 12f; dam smart at 10f; top course trainer; top trainer 1.7m euros yearling; superbly-bred newcomer although Moore prefers Minerva.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +17%) Minerva	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Minerva 5/1, Yard has won 2 of the last 10 runnings of this race. Improved up in trip when second, beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden over 8f at Leopardstown last time. Steadily progressive and effective from 7f to 8f, though becoming frustrating. Leopardstown second her best run yet but needs to find a lot more to play a major role.
3	8 3rd (8) (28/1 -75%) Lookingforarainbow	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) Lookingforarainbow 28/1, 1 Feb; Justify filly; half-sister to Requinto, high-class at 5f; dam top-class at 6f at 2yo; yard in good form; market should reveal more Justify filly out of Phoenix Stakes winner Damson; market watch advised.
4	6 4th (6) (7/2 +0%) Yellowstone Lake	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(6) Yellowstone Lake 7/2, Yard has won 2 of the last 5 editions of this race. Very promising debut when second, beaten a neck by a more experienced rival who set a high standard in a maiden at Leopardstown. Trainer in form and should improve for 7f. Beaten neck by Fairy Oak on Leopardstown debut; weighted to reverse that form here.
5th	10 5th (10) (14/1 +65%) Nautic Star	14 14/1(+65%)	(10) Nautic Star 14/1, 15 Mar; 30,000 euros Sioux Nation filly; dam smart at 12f; this looks a big ask first time out. Sioux Nation filly worth a market watch but others preferred on breeding.
6th	1 6th (1) (15/2 -50%) Fairy Oak	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(1) Fairy Oak 15/2, Quickened and held on gamely having raced freely to win a maiden at Leopardstown by a neck last time. Effective from 5f to 7f and looks worth stepping back up in grade now that she has landed a maiden. 7lb worse off with Yellowstone Lake for neck win at Leopardstown; more needed.
7th	2 7th (2) (15/8 +17%) Justiciar	1.875 15/8(+17%)	(2) Justiciar 15/8, Promising debut when third behind more experienced rivals, beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden here. Debut form has been franked at Group level, should improve significantly and is likely to stay 1m in time. Promising C&D third on Derby weekend; improvement likely.
8th	5 8th (5) (18/1 -80%) Saint Agatha	18 18/1(-80%)	(5) Saint Agatha 18/1, Forced to switch on debut but still finished runner-up, beaten 1/2l in a maiden here. Very promising behind a useful-looking rival, knew her job first time out and should progress. Green when narrowly beaten on C&D debut last month; likely improver.
9th	9 9th (9) (66/1 +0%) Menhaf	66 66/1(+0%)	(9) Menhaf 66/1, 24 Mar; Saxon Warrior filly; half-sister to Mehmasself And I, moderate from 6f to 7f at 2yo; dam smart at 6f at 2yo; top trainer but stable second string on jockey bookings Saxon Warrior filly; dam 6f 2yo winner; yard's second-choice on jockey bookings.
10th	11 10th (11) (12/1 +0%) Themis	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) Themis 12/1, 27 Jan; Sottsass filly; half-sister to Teutates, smart at 10f; dam useful at 16f; top trainer and looks stable first string; of interest Debutante seemingly the yard's pick on jockey bookings.

JUSTICIAR showed promise on debut here in June and should progress. By Wootton Bassett and out of a Group-placed dam, she finished strongly for third and the winner subsequently landed the Silver Flash Stakes. Albany Stakes fifth Fairy Oak put her experience to good use when beating the reopposing Yellowstone Lake at Leopardstown last month. However, Yellowstone Lake could turn around that form now she's better off at the weights. Saint Agatha also makes some appeal.

Leopardstown second YELLOWSTONE LAKE can reverse form with Fairy Oak. Lookingforarainbow is an interesting debutante

14:50 Curragh 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:25 Curragh (Class 1) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (11/2 +21%) Bucanero Fuerte	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(3) Bucanero Fuerte 11/2, Returned to form when allowed to dictate pace down in trip and grade, winning the Sole Power Sprint Stakes (Listed) at Naas over 5f by 2l. Off a short break and effective at 5f to 6f; worth another go at Group level. 2023 Phoenix Stakes winner, made a reassuring start to the season with 5f Naas win in May.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +0%) My Mate Alfie	8 8/1(+0%)	(6) My Mate Alfie 8/1, Ran to form when just caught late by a strong stayer, finishing second beaten a short-head in the Dash Stakes (Listed) here. Consistent at 6f at Listed and Group level; goes well at the Curragh. Has three C&D wins to his name, beaten a short head by Vespertilio last time, better off.
3	4 3rd (4) (17/2 -113%) Kind Of Blue	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(4) Kind Of Blue 17/2, Far too free and didn't take to Tapeta surface, well beaten in the Chipchase Stakes (Group 3) at Newcastle latest. Group 1 winner out of form in 2025 and hasn't looked an easy ride. Second here last year, Group 1 winner on soft at Ascot last October, weak form this season.
4	1 4th (1) (18/1 -100%) Art Power	18 18/1(-100%)	(1) Art Power 18/1, Out of form when beaten 10l in the British Champions Sprint Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot last time. Generally below par and returns from a lengthy layoff. Winner of four of his six starts at this venue, lack of an outing this term is a drawback.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 -100%) Nighteyes	14 14/1(-100%)	(9) Nighteyes 14/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/2l in the Summer Stakes (Group 3) at York last time. Effective at 6f and may enjoy 7f; consistent performer. Outran her 100-1 odds with a Group 1 fourth at Royal Ascot, good second at York since.
6th	10 6th (10) (11/1 -10%) Vespertilio	11 11/1(-10%)	(10) Vespertilio 11/1, Ran to form when benefiting from a drop in grade, quickening well off a modest pace to win the Dash Stakes (Listed) here by a short-head last time. Steadily progressive and a consistent strong traveller. Smart 7f form at two, deserved Listed C&D win in June, second My Mate Alfie is better off.
7th	11 7th (11) (10/3 +33%) Babouche	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(11) Babouche 10/3, Didn't settle when down the field in the Commonwealth Cup (Group 1) at Ascot. Off a short break. Group 1 winner here at 2. Contender. Won the Phoenix Stakes here last year, flopped in the Commonwealth Cup when much too free.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 -83%) Big Gossey	33 33/1(-83%)	(2) Big Gossey 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l in the Minstrel Stakes (Group 2) over 7f here last time. A consistent veteran at 5f to 7f and a Curragh specialist. Wonderful old servant who has won eight races here, still capable of high-class form.
9th	7 9th (7) (18/1 -100%) Spycatcher	18 18/1(-100%)	(7) Spycatcher 18/1, Returned to form back at the scene of previous Group wins, second beaten 2l in the Prix de Ris-Orangis (Group 3) at Deauville. Top jockey back on board; better suited by easy ground. Has continued to show good form since fifth behind My Mate Alfie over C&D last autumn.
10th	15 10th (15) (25/1 +11%) Lady With The Lamp	25 25/1(+11%)	(15) Lady With The Lamp 25/1, Below form when beaten 4 1/4l in the Yeomanstown Stud Stakes (Listed) at Naas last time. Acts on fast ground and all-weather; Listed wins may flatter her in modest races for the grade. Three-time Listed winner, not at her best at Naas after ambitious Group 1 Royal Ascot bid.
11th	13 11th (13) (5/2 +77%) Ides Of March	2.5 5/2(+77%)	(13) Ides Of March 5/2, Ran to form but was outclassed when beaten 5l in the July Cup (Group 1) at Newmarket. Top course jockey and trainer combination. Suited by 6f but must bounce back down in grade. Smart form at two, limitations exposed in two Group 1 attempts since two Listed seconds.
12th	12 12th (12) (50/1 -213%) Black Forza	50 50/1(-213%)	(12) Black Forza 50/1, Ran to form but was beaten on merit when fourth, 6l behind in the Middle Park Stakes (Group 1) at Newmarket. Blinkers on for the first time; returning from a long layoff. Last year's Richmond Stakes winner, absent since fourth of six in the Middle Park.

15:25 Curragh (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MY MATE ALFIE is reliable and finished third in this race last year. Beaten half a length by Kind Of Blue (second) in last year's renewal, the selection seemed to progress from that run and can reverse June's C&D form with Vespertilio. Kind Of Blue was slowly away on his June reappearance at Chantilly and then disappointed on the all-weather at Newcastle. A Group 1 winner on testing ground last October, he will be suited to returning to turf but needs to find form. Babouche is another interesting contender.

It may be worth taking a risk with BUCANERO FUERTE who returned from a short spell at stud to win at Naas over 5f in May

16:00 Curragh (Class 1) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (10/1 +29%) Power Blue	10 10/1(+29%)	(3) Power Blue 10/1, Probably ran to Coventry form when third, beaten 6l in the Railway Stakes (Group 2) here last time. Suited by 6f, handles any ground but ideally doesn't want it too fast. Fifth behind Gstaad in the Coventry, well held in third behind True Love in the Railway.
2	6 2nd (6) (1/4 +90%) True Love	0.25 1/4(+90%)	(6) True Love 1/4, Yard has won 4 of the last 10 runnings of this race. Quickened away very impressively when upped in trip to win the Railway Stakes (Group 2) here by 5l last time. Top course trainer. Effective at 5f, better at 6f, should get 7f+. Acts on good and good to firm. Top-class. Queen Mary/Railway Stakes winner, 3/4l behind Gstaad at Navan, capable of testing the colt.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -20%) Green Sense	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Green Sense 12/1, Back to best when appreciating softer ground, winning the Prix Robert Papin (Group 2) at Chantilly by a neck last time. Trainer in form. Handles good and soft but unproven on faster ground. Failed to feature in the Albany Stakes, has otherwise shown a high standard of form.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 +68%) Puerto Rico	6.5 13/2(+68%)	(4) Puerto Rico 13/2, Yard has won 4 of the last 10 editions of this race. Ran to form when second, beaten 2l in the Richmond Stakes (Group 2) at Goodwood latest. Top course trainer. Suited by 6f, acts on good and probably good to soft. Game type who may have reached his level. No match for True Love in the Railway Stakes, solid display when second in the Richmond.
5th	1 5th (1) (100/1 -100%) Do Bronxs	100 100/1(-100%)	(1) Do Bronxs 100/1, Ran to debut form but was well held when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l in the Rose Bowl Stakes (Listed) at Newbury last time. Top jockey back on board. Well bred and worth another try at this level. Ayr maiden winner on debut, well beaten in a Listed race at Newbury, way out of his depth.

16:00 Curragh (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This is a fascinating rematch between Royal Ascot-winning stablemates GSTAAD and True Love, as the pair previously met in a May maiden. Gstaad won that Navan race on his debut run before producing a top class effort to land the Coventry Stakes and marginally gets the vote to confirm himself as the leading juvenile so far. True Love readily landed the Queen Mary at Ascot and effortlessly accounted for stablemate Puerto Rico to win the Railway Stakes. Puerto Rico's subsequent Richmond Stakes form ties in with the selection's form, so a cracking race is in store.

The Coventry Stakes winner GSTAAD may have the resources to confirm Navan form with Queen Mary and Railway Stakes winner \bTrue Love

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (14/1 +13%) Sarahmae	14 14/1(+13%)	(10) Sarahmae 14/1, Quickened nicely and looked to have more to give when winning by 3l off 69 at Tipperary on penultimate start; improved again up in grade when fourth, beaten 2l off 78 last time; off a short break; progressive at 5f. Improved sprinter this year; 4lb wrong here but rider's claim negates that.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/4 +22%) Keke	1.75 7/4(+22%)	(1) Keke 7/4, Improved again when scoring by a length off 93 here on his penultimate start; too much to do and met trouble at a key stage when seventh, beaten 3l off 100 last time; stiff 5f probably best, effective at 6f, sound surface suits, progressive, likes the Curragh. Rockingham winner; excuses at Cork so remains very much a player back at optimum C&D.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +22%) Kendall Roy	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Kendall Roy 7/1, Made a bit too much use of himself when returning from a break, beaten 3l off 90 at Cork last time; suited by 5f; inconsistent but should come on for the reappearance. Cork comeback run encouraging and entitled to come on for it.
4	7 4th (7) (11/2 +15%) Cuban Grey	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(7) Cuban Grey 11/2, Improved again when scoring by 3/4l off 74 here penultimate start; rallied gamely and ran to form when third, beaten 2l off 81 last time; suited by 5f; steadily progressive but handicapper catching up. Dual C&D winner this season; thriving on his racing and goes well for this regular rider.
5th	8 5th (8) (11/2 +45%) Greek Flower	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(8) Greek Flower 11/2, Ran to current form when beaten 4l off 80 over 6f here last time; usually held up; significant jockey booking; inconsistent and on a stiff mark. Yet to hit top form this season, though not bad efforts; bit to find here.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 0%) Harry's Hill	11 11/1(0%)	(5) Harry's Hill 11/1, Bit below form back in a handicap, beaten 2l off 88 at Cork last time; suited by 5f; bit flattered by conditions win. Solid handicap form sandwiching recent Tipperary win; place claims.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/2 +36%) The Highway Rat	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(2) The Highway Rat 9/2, Improved again when winning by 1 1/4l off 94 at Navan in May; produced best run for some time when fourth in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes here last time; suited by 5f. Rockingham third to Keke and good run in Group 2 latest; definite claims.

Having had valid excuses at Cork last time, course and distance winner KEKE can resume his progress. Sent off favourite at the Munster venue, the Eddie Lynam-trained gelding was denied a clear run over a furlong out, before keeping on late. Successful here on his previous outing, the son of Dandy Man looks to be a progressive young sprinter with more to come. A potentially favourable stands side draw only adds to his chances. Third in that aforementioned Cork race, Cuban Grey also tasted success at this track recently. Despite his career high mark, the Patrick McKenna-trained gelding is thriving at present. Greek Flower certainly has a race of this nature in her at some point.

On the back of a good run in a C&D Group 2 last time, THE HIGHWAY RAT can reverse earlier Rockingham form with Keke

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (8/1 -33%) Tropical Retreat	8 8/1(-33%)	(8) Tropical Retreat 8/1, Travelled well and appreciated the stiff finish down in trip when scoring by 3l off 71 at Naas three starts ago; ran to form when fourth, beaten 2 1/2l off 79 last time; consistent sprinter. Naas fourth to Mint Man on latest; place claims.
2	11 2nd (11) (4/1 +38%) Rappell	4 4/1(+38%)	(11) Rappell 4/1, Ran to form when dropped in grade and beaten 4l off 72 over 5f here last time; generally consistent on sound surfaces over sprint trips. Trip inadequate last time, previous C&D second makes him a definite contender.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/1 +30%) Aviatrice	7 7/1(+30%)	(6) Aviatrice 7/1, Short of room at a key stage and had too much to do when beaten 5l in a 7f handicap at Galway last time; usually consistent and can do better than that effort. Hasn't progressed as hoped of late but drop in trip and stiff 6f could suit.
4	2 4th (2) (7/2 +13%) Mint Man	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(2) Mint Man 7/2, Had a bit in hand when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 71 at Naas last time; probably a bit more to come. Naas winner up 9lb but rider's claim a big positive; has to be considered.
5th	1 5th (1) (15/2 0%) Brigid's Cloak	7.5 15/2(0%)	(1) Brigid's Cloak 15/2, Well treated at the weights when scoring by 4 1/4l off 70 here in May; made too much use of the run when eighth, beaten 4l off 85 last time; handicapper now in control. Some good runs here this term; drops in grade and has to be respected.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 -29%) Imperial Dream	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) Imperial Dream 18/1, Below form when beaten 8l in a 7f handicap at Fairyhouse last time; generally out of form; effective over 6-7f on a sound surface but struggling recently. C&D winner last year; return to 6f to suit and back down to an okay mark so considered.
7th	15 7th (15) (10/1 +44%) Nouvel Espoir	10 10/1(+44%)	(15) Nouvel Espoir 10/1, Scored by 1/2l off 63 over 5f at Cork three starts back; ran to form when seventh, beaten 6 1/2l off 69 last time; significant jockey booking; consistent sprinter but may be in the grip of the handicapper. Best form at 5f, remains opposable at this trip.
8th	16 8th (16) (7/1 +30%) Kwa Herini	7 7/1(+30%)	(16) Kwa Herini 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off 65 at Naas last time; trainer in good form; effective at 6f; competitive off current rating. Second here in June augurs well, bit more needed on recent Naas run.
9th	5 9th (5) (28/1 +15%) Aurora Nova	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Aurora Nova 28/1, Benefited from a positive ride to win by 1 1/2l off 69 over 5f at Bellewstown three starts ago; below form up in grade and with a change of tactics when 11th, beaten 10l off 76 last time; wide draw may be a concern. Has had a good season but handicapper may have her measure now.
10th	13 10th (13) (12/1 +64%) Tai Tam Bay	12 12/1(+64%)	(13) Tai Tam Bay 12/1, Below form when beaten 9l in a 7f handicap at Galway last time; generally out of form in 2025 following a promising reappearance. Lost form after good C&D reappearance; handicapper relenting but hard to be confident in.
11th	10 11th (10) (12/1 -20%) Misappropriation	12 12/1(-20%)	(10) Misappropriation 12/1, Bit below form when beaten 3l off 79 over 7f at Leopardstown last time; wide draw; effective over 6-7f on a sound surface. Best form this term at this trip so could improve on recent efforts back in trip.
12th	9 12th (9) (33/1 -371%) Bundle Of Interest	33 33/1(-371%)	(9) Bundle Of Interest 33/1, Improved to overcome trouble when appreciating the stiff test down in trip to land a handicap by 1 1/4l off 69 at Navan last time; may have more to offer over sprint trips. Came late to beat Skillman Ave at Navan; 9lb higher but may have more to offer.
13th	12 13th (12) (22/1 -120%) Skillman Ave	22 22/1(-120%)	(12) Skillman Ave 22/1, Scored by a neck off 68 over 5f at Tipperary two starts ago; ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l off 73 last time; effective over 5-6f and generally consistent. Navan second to Bungle Of Interest and nicely weighted to reverse form here.

Recent Naas winner MINT MAN can follow up despite his subsequent hike. Unlucky in running when third over the minimum trip here on his previous start, the Pat Murphy-trained gelding coped admirably with the additional furlong when scoring last time. With Rory Mulligan taking over in the saddle, the four-year-old is now effectively only 2lb higher than his latest win. Rappell should prove much more suited to returning to 6f on good ground and looks to have strong claims, provided that his low draw doesn't hinder him. Lightly-raced Navan winner Bundle Of Interest is another that enters calculations.

TOKENOMICS can defy top-weight here for the David Marnane stable. Successful on his penultimate outing at Cork, the four-year-old arguably found the ground too quick when disappointing subsequently at Royal Ascot. Undoubtedly better than that latest form suggests, the son of The Grey Gatsby can resume his upward progress. A former course winner, Engines On made a successful debut for trainer John Andrew Kinsella at Leopardstown last month. Having been expected to need that run, the Sioux Nation gelding can take another step forward. Galway runner-up Imposing Supreme should also have his chance off just 1lb higher.

The ground may have been too quick for TOKENOMICS in the Royal Hunt Cup. he could add to a Cork win achieved in adverse circumstances,

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.
