Very much one to look out for in the betting. High-class pedigree; in the Dewhurst and a couple of Group 2s; plenty to like.
2	12 2nd (12) (11/4 +77%) Storm Piece	2.75 11/4(+77%)	(12) Storm Piece 11/4, Foaled April 15. Night of Thunder colt. Closely related to 7f winner Tacitly and useful 6f/7f winner Thaler and half-brother to 11f winner Chimed. Trainer going well but betting should guide on racecourse bow. Seventh foal; closely related to winners Thaler (6f/7f; RPR 96) and Tacitly (7f; 78).

Dam winner up to 9.5f (2-y-o 7f winner), , won German Group 3 and third in US Grade 1 event. Not discounted. Cost 155,000gns; perhaps the yard's first string and he's in the Group 2 Royal Lodge.

Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Field Day out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Naval Affair. Out of a 6f winner who was related to three winners; wouldn't be the obvious answer.
12th	3 12th (3) (25/1 -178%) Desmond Castle	25 25/1(-178%)	(3) Desmond Castle 25/1, Foaled February 9. Churchill colt. Brother to 1¼m winner Chilled Out and smart 9.4f/1¼m winner Trustyourinstinct. Dam 7f winner. Not ruled out on his first start, especially if the market vibes are positive. Bred to appreciate further than this; the stable is doubly represented.

LTO Selection:

Aidan O'Brien has a particularly strong group of juveniles this season and perhaps OFFICER can provide the Ballydoyle team with another success. The Dubawi colt is out of the Group 1 winner Hydrangea which makes him a brother to Wingspan, who won the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes recently at Gowran. The first-time blinkered Thrice is another that makes plenty of appeal on pedigree, while Tribal Nation is also by Wootton Bassett and the 155,000gns yearling is out of a Group 3-winning daughter of Sepoy. Snapper Rocks won a barrier trial at Naas last month and is another to note.

The market should reveal plenty with no form to go on but Aidan O'Brien's OFFICER makes plenty of appeal on paper and is taken to go in at the first time of asking with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Stablemate Thrice is also bred to be useful and could emerge as the chief threat, although Storm Piece, Tribal Nation, Broadstone and Desmond Castle are other potentially interesting debutants to consider in this intriguing maiden.

The three with Group-race engagements are TRIBAL NATION, Officer and Thrice. Snapper Rocks won a barrier trial.

2	18 2nd (18) (9/2 +44%) White Clover	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(18) White Clover 9/2, Lightly-raced filly. 5/2, sixth of 8 in maiden at Tipperary (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. 5f too sharp last time and she's a definite player on previous efforts over 6f/7f.
3	13 3rd (13) (5/1 +33%) Pansy Poe	5 5/1(+33%)	(13) Pansy Poe 5/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Creditable third of 8 in maiden at Tipperary (5f, good to firm, 7/1) 15 days ago. Now 0-7 and she was behind the less exposed Red Hugh O'Donnell the last time.

6th	3 6th (3) (8/1 -23%) No Knee Never	8 8/1(-23%)	(3) No Knee Never 8/1, Lightly-raced colt. Respectable third of 9 in maiden (11/4) at Galway (7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely to be thereabouts for leading stable. Consistent without looking progressive; bit to find on the figures; first run over 6f.

10th	6 10th (6) (16/1 -191%) Yaxchilan	16 16/1(-191%)	(6) Yaxchilan 16/1, Twice-raced gelding. 10/3 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 9 in maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft) 25 days ago, slowly away. Behind some of these in both his runs and he might be one for handicaps.
11th	1 11th (1) (14/1 -40%) Benji Bee	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) Benji Bee 14/1, €44,000 foal, Cotai Glory gelding. Half-brother to smart 7f-1¼m winner Njord.

DESERT POWER has been placed on all three outings in sprint maidens this year and may get a winning turn. The Slade Power gelding beat all bar the speedy Sturlasson on debut at Navan and again finished well behind Mehmar (won again since) at the same venue last month with Yaxchilan three lengths back in fourth. Red Hugh O'Donnell had Pansy Poe and White Clover behind when runner-up to Emerald Harmony on his reappearance at Tipperary earlier this month and should be suited by the extra furlong. Pansy Poe has shaped well here on a couple of occasions and appeals most of the remainder.

This looks a decent opportunity for RED HUGH O'DONNELL to build on his promising Tipperary second a fortnight ago. Edward Lynam's Desert Power is second choice ahead of Joseph O'Brien's No Knee Never.

Sprint maidens for older horses are rarely straightforward. DESERT POWER has at least run well in two of his three starts.

14:20 Curragh Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:55 Curragh Handicap 12f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (6/1 +0%) Ameerat Jumaira	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Ameerat Jumaira 6/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 18/1) 9 days ago. Stable in good form. Likely to continue in form. Recent winner of a premier handicap on AW, noted carrying her head high but seems resolute.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/1 -38%) Belhaven	11 11/1(-38%)	(2) Belhaven 11/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 7¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Tarawa in listed race at Leopardstown (9f, good, 8/1) 79 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Four-time winner in UK; won at Sligo on yard debut, tried in a Listed race last time.
3	10 3rd (10) (13/2 +7%) Gangster Granny	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(10) Gangster Granny 13/2, Winner at Limerick in June. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good to soft, 7/1) 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has made the frame in two handicap runs in Britain since a Limerick maiden win in June.
4	8 4th (8) (11/4 +21%) Shoda	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(8) Shoda 11/4, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/2, won 18-runner maiden at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) 24 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve again. Appeared to have plenty left in the tank at Galway, her opening mark looks reasonable.
5th	7 5th (7) (15/2 +32%) Aird	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(7) Aird 15/2, 4/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Down Royal (10.6f, good) 36 days ago, nearest finish. Only a neck behind subsequent Naas winner Apercu at Down Royal, worth considering.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 -122%) Apercu	10 10/1(-122%)	(4) Apercu 10/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 5/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, keeping on well. Should go well again. Second at Down Royal before Naas win in first-time cheekpieces, 4lb rise is not excessive.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 -43%) Bay Of Sanibel	5 5/1(-43%)	(6) Bay Of Sanibel 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Navan in May. Respectable fourth of 17 in handicap (4/1) at this course (14f, soft) 90 days ago. Has good chance on form. Reliable performer over staying distances, might prefer a bit further than this.
8th	1 8th (1) (22/1 -57%) Perfect Portrait	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Perfect Portrait 22/1, 40/1, 20½ lengths last of 10 to Grateful in Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse (14f, good) 45 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Has struggled in stakes races this season, sights lowered now, trainer runs three in this.
9th	9 9th (9) (35/1 +13%) Lizzy's Filly	35 35/1(+13%)	(9) Lizzy's Filly 35/1, 7/2, first run since leaving Patrick Martin when eighth of 10 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft), unable to sustain effort. Off 12 months. Maiden winner last year, faces a stiff task after 12 months on the sidelines.
10th	11 10th (11) (16/1 -33%) Tiscommonknowledge	16 16/1(-33%)	(11) Tiscommonknowledge 16/1, Course winner. 12/1, good sixth of 13 in handicap at Galway (12.4f, good to soft) 26 days ago, slowly away. Plenty to find on form. Course nursery winner, fair Galway run, this looks demanding from 6lb out of the handicap.
11th	3 11th (3) (16/1 +0%) Star Kissed	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Star Kissed 16/1, 4/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 5 in minor event at Gowran (9.5f, good) 28 days ago, finding little. Back up in trip. Stable in good form. E Three wins last year including a 1m4f premier handicap at Cork, yet to score this season.

Joseph O'Brien's SHODA should have a future in handicaps. She put in a promising debut effort when third in a maiden at Killarney and built on that when scoring at the Galway Festival. The way she forged on well to score by almost four lengths bodes well for her first handicap assignment. Her stablemate Perfect Portrait could enjoy this drop in class. She didn't show in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse last month, but has been given a break since. Aird is nicely weighted with Robyn Donaghue-Leahy taking 7lb off her back, while O'Brien's Belhaven and recent Dundalk winner Ameerat Jumaira are others to note.

Lightly-raced 3-y-o SHODA was a convincing winner of a maiden at Galway and can make light of an opening handicap mark in the low 80s with further improvement likely. Bay of Sanibel is second choice ahead of recent Naas scorer Apercu.

Joseph O'Brien runs three and it could pay to side with SHODA (nap), a Galway maiden winner who is the least exposed runner.

14:55 Curragh Handicap 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:30 Curragh Group 2 7f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (5/6 -56%) Henri Matisse	0.833333 5/6(-56%)	(1) Henri Matisse 5/6, Promising individual. 8/1, won 5-runner Railway Stakes at this course (6f, good) 55 days ago by ½ length from The Strikin Viking, despite being slowly away. Outstanding claims for top yard with likelihood of more to come. Looked very smart when winning the Railway Stakes, step up to 7f looks sure to suit.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/1 +40%) Hotazhell	2 2/1(+40%)	(2) Hotazhell 2/1, C&D maiden winner took step up class in his stride when winning Group 3 5-runner Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago by 1½ lengths from Swagman, responding well. May well do better. Has made notable progression in winning both races since debut fourth behind Scorthy Champ.
3	4 3rd (4) (17/2 +15%) Scorthy Champ	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(4) Scorthy Champ 17/2, Created a very favourable impression when landing 10-runner maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 7/1) on debut 99 days ago, pushed out. Open to plenty of improvement so sure to leave bare form behind. Debut winner with Hotazhell in fourth, that rival now has the advantage of experiecne.
4	3 4th (3) (13/2 +35%) Rock Of Cashel	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(3) Rock Of Cashel 13/2, Different proposition on second start when winning 8-runner maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft, 3/1) 26 days ago, driven clear. Should progress again but he needs to in this company. Experience of debut stood to him when winning at Galway, Henri Matisse looks superior.

Aidan O'Brien has mentioned 7f for HENRI MATISSE on both occasions that he won over 6f at this track and the Group 2 Railway Stakes winner is taken to bring up his hat-trick. This is due to be the slowest ground he will encounter, but the progeny of Wootton Bassett are showing a real aptitude for soft ground. The 107-rated Hotazhell provides stiff opposition as he took a Group 3 over an extended 7f on his latest outing at Leopardstown. Prior to that, he shed his maiden status over C&D. O'Brien's Rock Of Cashel and Mehmas colt Scorthy Champ are winners that definitely add further spice to the mix.

A quartet to view positively with HENRI MATISSE just about the percentage call even under a penalty given he already has winning form at this level to his name gained in a 6f contest at this track. Hotazhell is second choice on form.

Railway Stakes winner HENRI MATISSE looks tailormade for 7f and can give Aidan O'Brien a record 17th win in this race

15:30 Curragh Group 2 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:05 Curragh Group 2 7f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (1/16 +13%) Bedtime Story	0.0625 1/16(+13%)	(2) Bedtime Story 1/16, Frankel filly who socred in spectacular fashion when pulling 9½ lengths clear in the Chesham at Royal Ascot in June. Made it 3-3 with the minimum of fuss in Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago by 3½ lengths from Exactly. Can't be opposed. Impressive Chesham Stakes winner, easy scorer from Exactly last time, impossible to oppose.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 +29%) Exactly	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(5) Exactly 17/2, Leopardstown 7f maiden winner and advanced her form when 3½ lengths second of 5 to Bedtime Story in Silver Flash Stakes there (7.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago, clear of rest. Getting better with each recent run. Ran as well as could have been expected when no match for Bedtime Story at Leopardstown.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 +65%) Barnavara	14 14/1(+65%)	(1) Barnavara 14/1, Course winner. Winner here in May. 28/1, good 5¼ lengths third of 5 to Bedtime Story in Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Not ruled out. No reason why she should reverse Leopardstown form with Bedtime Story and Exactly.
4	4 4th (4) (150/1 +25%) Eastern Peace	150 150/1(+25%)	(4) Eastern Peace 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, twelfth of 18 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to soft) on debut 30 days ago, not knocked about. Plenty to find on form here. Made some late headway on debut, set an unenviable task in a race of this standard.
5th	6 5th (6) (66/1 +47%) Senna's Girl	66 66/1(+47%)	(6) Senna's Girl 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, 16 lengths last of 6 to January in listed race at Tipperary (7.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Booking of Coen a plus but this is no easy ask. Fourth behind three of these rivals at Leopardstown, can win races but this is ambitious.

It will be a huge shock if this doesn't go to Ballydoyle and BEDTIME STORY, who is unbeaten in three starts. The daughter of Frankel was a hugely impressive winner of the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot and readily defeated stablemate Exactly in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last month. She can take the next step up the Pattern ladder in her stride. The other O'Brien runner is Bubbling, who was a taking winner of a Galway maiden and holds Group 1 entries in the autumn.

Aidan O'Brien holds all the aces here and his most exciting Frankel filly BEDTIME STORY gets a confident vote to go 4-4. Stablemates Bubbling and Senna's Girl both look to have better days ahead of them too and can chase home the selection in that order.

This should be straightforward for the unbeaten Chesham Stakes winner BEDTIME STORY who beat Exactly comfortably at Leopardstown.

16:40 Curragh Maiden 10f - 23 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (28/1 +30%) Marakesh	28 28/1(+30%)	(2) Marakesh 28/1, Decorated Knight filly. Closely related to 7f/1m winner Zefferino and half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Riviera Nights. Worth a market check. Decorated Knight filly and closely related to 7f/1m winner Zefferino (RPR 85).
1	8 1st (8) (6/1 -20%) Fighter	6 6/1(-20%)	(8) Fighter 6/1, Thrice-raced colt. Third of 9 in maiden (10/3) at Limerick (12.5f, good) 63 days ago, making his effort against unfavoured inside rail. Looks the type who could do better again and worth a second look equipped with blinkers/partnered by Ryan Moore. Frankel colt who has looked decidedly ordinary in maidens from 1m to 1m4f; now blinkered.
2	20 2nd (20) (22/1 -83%) Ard Na Mara	22 22/1(-83%)	(20) Ard Na Mara 22/1, Promising type. 12/1 and tongue strap on, shaped well amidst greenness when fourth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) on debut 10 days ago, finishing well. Looks sure to improve. Lost her position before staying on again to be a 3l fourth at Gowran (1m1f, good to firm).
3	18 3rd (18) (33/1 -200%) Young Churchill	33 33/1(-200%)	(18) Young Churchill 33/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Last of 6 in maiden at Fairyhouse (12f, good, 5/1) 78 days ago, seemingly not 100% on the day. Too soon to be writing her off. Non-stayer latest over 1m4f? previous Cork form over this far makes him a player.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +47%) Bard Of Avon	4 4/1(+47%)	(4) Bard Of Avon 4/1, Galileo colt. Brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Albula. Showed plenty to work on amidst greenness when fifth of 15 in maiden at Leopardstown (1m) on debut in October. Looks sure to do better at 3 yrs. Never-dangerous fifth at Leopardstown in October (1m, heavy) was highly promising.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -40%) Estate Planning	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Estate Planning 28/1, €26,000 foal, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Brother to smart 13f-15f winner Ever Present and half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f/6f winner Memories Galore. 26,000euros foal; brother to bumper and 1m5f-1m7f Flat winner Ever Present (RPR 112).
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 +40%) Mythical Rock	12 12/1(+40%)	(9) Mythical Rock 12/1, Twice-raced colt. First run since leaving Barry Fitzgerald when second of 12 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good, 25/1) 61 days ago, hanging left and headed post. May do better again. Just missed out from the front over 1m1f at Ballinrobe but this will be tougher.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 -52%) El Santarem	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) El Santarem 100/1, Once-raced gelding. Tenth of 17 in maiden (28/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago, off bridle long way out and plugging on. Beaten the thick end of 20l over 1m1f at Leopardstown two weeks ago when easy to back.
8th	23 8th (23) (7/2 +13%) Sacred Oath	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(23) Sacred Oath 7/2, Twice-raced filly. 11/4, third of 13 in maiden at Galway (12f, soft) 22 days ago, finding less than looked likely. That was still a solid enough effort and she's respected returned to 10f. Encouraging debut over C&D and didn't appear to stay 1m4f on soft at Galway.
9th	12 9th (12) (66/1 -32%) Sibari	66 66/1(-32%)	(12) Sibari 66/1, Once-raced gelding. 28/1 and cheekpieces on, ninth of 13 in maiden at this course (8f, good to soft) on debut 56 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Up in trip. Never counted after starting slowly on slow-ground debut here in June.
10th	19 10th (19) (16/1 -45%) Another Night	16 16/1(-45%)	(19) Another Night 16/1, Almanzor filly. Ran to a similar level as on debut when sixth of 13 in maiden at Galway (12f, soft, 9/1) 22 days ago. Handicaps could well be more her bag on the back of this. Held by Sacred Oath on their recent Galway encounter but it's still early days.
11th	17 11th (17) (25/1 -79%) Trethorn	25 25/1(-79%)	(17) Trethorn 25/1, Twice-raced colt who took a step forward from debut when seventh of 18 in maiden at this C&D (good, 14/1) 57 days ago, having to pick way through. Step up to 1½m may suit ideally on that evidence. Finished closer over C&D two months but Sacred Oath was ahead him in third.
12th	10 12th (10) (3/1 +0%) Raydamann	3 3/1(+0%)	(10) Raydamann 3/1, Lightly-raced gelding who has improved with each outing to date, good second of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) 16 days ago. A repeat gives him sound claims again. Doesn't look particularly progressive but has form claims after recent near misses.
13th	1 13th (1) (22/1 -57%) Man Of Action	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Man Of Action 22/1, Promising sort. Fourth of 14 in maiden (14/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) on debut 82 days ago, missing break. Should improve. Some ability on debut but looks up against it taking on a wave of 3yos.
14th	22 14th (22) (66/1 -100%) Carried With Love	66 66/1(-100%)	(22) Carried With Love 66/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, last of 12 in maiden at Cork (10.4f, good to firm) on debut 8 days ago, very slowly away. In good hands and she's likely to do better in time. In rear throughout last week at Cork (1m2f) and she's one for another day.
15th	13 15th (13) (50/1 +0%) Space Warrior	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Space Warrior 50/1, €30,000 yearling, Belardo colt. Half-brother to winner up to 1m Exminster. 30,000euros yearling; fifth foal; half-brother to 7f 2yo/1m winner Exminster (RPR 93).
16th	14 16th (14) (66/1 -100%) Tank Davis	66 66/1(-100%)	(14) Tank Davis 66/1, 1,000 gns yearling, Muhaarar gelding. Dam maiden. 1,000gns yearling; first foal; dam runner-up 5f 2yo (RPR 80).
17th	5 17th (5) (125/1 -89%) Bid Up	125 125/1(-89%)	(5) Bid Up 125/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fifteenth of 16 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, soft, 33/1) 21 days ago. Up in trip. No sign of ability in his first two runs at about 1m.
18th	3 18th (3) (125/1 -150%) Al Bahar	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) Al Bahar 125/1, Saxon Warrior gelding. Showed a bit when eighth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) on debut 10 days ago, not knocked about. Well beaten at Gowran (1m1f) only ten days ago and has been gelded since; limited appeal.
19th	11 19th (11) (17/2 +0%) Revelry	8.5 17/2(+0%)	(11) Revelry 17/2, 575,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Dam, useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Beatbox Rhythm. Wears blinkers for debut but he's well worthy of respect for his powerful yard. This is a belated debut in first-time blinkers so would need to see confidence behind him.
20th	15 20th (15) (125/1 -150%) The Aglet	125 125/1(-150%)	(15) The Aglet 125/1, Twice-raced gelding. 200/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) 10 days ago. Low-grade handicaps promise to be more his bag moving forward. Fairly low-level form thus far and handicaps will be more like it.
21st	21 21st (21) (125/1 -89%) Bless Me	125 125/1(-89%)	(21) Bless Me 125/1, Thrice-raced filly. Last of 15 in maiden (250/1) at Limerick (7f, good) 63 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Can only be watched. Not remotely threatening in her first three races (7f/1m) and this will be no easier.
22nd	16 22nd (16) (150/1 -200%) Tommy Stout	150 150/1(-200%)	(16) Tommy Stout 150/1, Harzand gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 6f/7f winner Five Claw and 6f-7f winner Ducky Mallon. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m winner Poetical. Wears tongue strap. Ninth foal; half-brother to three winners including Ducky Mallon (6f/7f; RPR 85).

SACRED OATH might be able to get off the mark at the third attempt. The daughter of Lope De Vega was a promising third over C&D on debut and, having travelled strongly, it looked like 1m4f was too far when she filled the same position at Galway. Coming back in trip looks a wise move. Raydamann has been caught close home in his last two starts having been ridden prominently and is likely to contend again, while Ard Na Mara kept on steadily into fourth at Gowran Park and is open to improvement. Fighter, well held in third on his seasonal return, is blinkered as is stablemate Revelry, a well-bred newcomer who cost plenty as a yearling.

RAYDAMANN has displayed race-by-race progress in a handful of starts to date, worn down close home at Leopardstown (9f) 16 days ago. He gets the nod to go one place better, with Sacred Oath Ard Na Mara and Fighter others to consider. Bard of Avon is another likely improver now embarking on his 3-y-o campaign.

The suggestion is SACRED OATH who made a nice debut here before 1m4f on soft ground ultimately found her out at Galway.

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (7/1 -75%) Masoun	7 7/1(-75%)	(6) Masoun 7/1, 3/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Down Royal (10.6f, good) 36 days ago, getting first run. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Beat subsequent winner Apercu at Down Royal, can remain competitive off 3lb higher.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 +0%) Solar Breeze	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) Solar Breeze 20/1, 7/1, last of 7 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, soft) 17 days ago. That was a rare blip and she's likely to bounce back. Nothing of note in her form since narrowly denied at Dundalk in January, poor on latest.
3	15 3rd (15) (14/1 -75%) French Company	14 14/1(-75%)	(15) French Company 14/1, Didn't need to improve to win 12-runner claimer at Sligo (10.5f, soft, 9/4) 17 days ago, all out. Booking of Kennedy a plus. Seems sure to go well back in handicap company. Has been showing good form in claiming races this season, more needed in handicap company.
4	10 4th (10) (11/1 +45%) Slurricane	11 11/1(+45%)	(10) Slurricane 11/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 10/1, 10 lengths eighth of 10 to Puturhandstogether in handicap at this C&D (good) 35 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Killarney winner over 1m on seasonal debut, too keen latest when down the field over C&D.
5th	14 5th (14) (20/1 +0%) Nahori	20 20/1(+0%)	(14) Nahori 20/1, 16/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 44 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has work to do. Dundalk maiden winner on debut, has found things tough in handicaps, tongue-tie on now.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/2 -10%) Tachos	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(8) Tachos 11/2, Winner at Gowran in June. 17/2, good second of 15 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Can give a good account. Shows every sign of maturing into a reliable handicapper, likely to make her presence felt.
7th	3 7th (3) (5/2 +0%) Puturhandstogether	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(3) Puturhandstogether 5/2, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (5/2) at this C&D (good) 35 days ago, well positioned. Should improve again so he's a major player. C&D winner five weeks ago, previously a neck second to Tachos who is now 2lb better off.
8th	13 8th (13) (10/1 +38%) Everylittlestep	10 10/1(+38%)	(13) Everylittlestep 10/1, 10/1, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, slowly away. Not taken lightly. Won three in a row last summer, best run this season when second over 1m at this venue.
9th	11 9th (11) (25/1 +50%) Golden Circet	25 25/1(+50%)	(11) Golden Circet 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 14/1) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Lightly-raced colt, has shaped quite well and could slot into handicaps effectively.
10th	19 10th (19) (10/1 -100%) Rotolo	10 10/1(-100%)	(19) Rotolo 10/1, 10/3, very good second of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) 16 days ago, conceding first run. Has big chance on form. Went very close over 1m1f at Leopardstown, extra furlong should suit, strong contender.
11th	16 11th (16) (25/1 +0%) Maralinga	25 25/1(+0%)	(16) Maralinga 25/1, Eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.4f, soft, 25/1) on NH debut 18 days ago. Down in trip. Fair on the Flat, respectable effort on last Flat outing. Ran over hurdles last time, stays further than this, should be nearing full fitness again.
12th	9 12th (9) (16/1 +68%) Letiza	16 16/1(+68%)	(9) Letiza 16/1, 20/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Sligo (10.5f, soft) 17 days ago. Suddenly has a bit to prove. Best of her five handicap runs this season when a long-priced fifth of 21 at this venue.
13th	17 13th (17) (16/1 +20%) Auguste Lumiere	16 16/1(+20%)	(17) Auguste Lumiere 16/1, Creditable ninth of 15 in handicap (11/1) at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, failing to really improve for the step up in trip. Fair maiden form last season; needs to improve from handicap runs at Galway and Naas.
14th	20 14th (20) (40/1 +0%) Hijo De La Luna	40 40/1(+0%)	(20) Hijo De La Luna 40/1, 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good) 50 days ago. Back up in trip. Good display three starts ago when third at Down Royal, vulnerable on overall form.
15th	12 15th (12) (12/1 +0%) Karlsberg	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Karlsberg 12/1, Latest win at Cork in April. 10/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 34 days ago. Up in trip. Mare has won three races at up to 1m, trying a new trip now, others appeal more.
16th	18 16th (18) (22/1 +12%) Eyeeye	22 22/1(+12%)	(18) Eyeeye 22/1, Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Best run was at this venue as a juvenile, mid-division at Leopardstown on latest.
17th	4 17th (4) (33/1 +34%) Sir Callisto	33 33/1(+34%)	(4) Sir Callisto 33/1, First run since leaving J. Reynier when fell in juvenile hurdle (40/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) on NH debut 175 days ago. Quickly back on the level and now goes handicapping. Won in France last November, out of contention when falling on hurdling debut in March.
18th	1 18th (1) (40/1 +20%) Stellium	40 40/1(+20%)	(1) Stellium 40/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft). Off 15 months. Significantly down in trip. Maiden winner over 1m4f, has been off for a long time and probably best watched here.

TACHOS hasn't been out of the first three home in her four starts this year and has decent claims in an open contest. Dermot Weld's filly got the better of Puturhandstogether at Gowran Park in June and is better off at the weights. The daughter of Gleneagles did little wrong when finding one too good over this trip at Naas earlier in the month. Like the selection, Puturhandstogether has done well since entering handicap company and defeated some in-form rivals over C&D last month. He is open to more improvement and Down Royal winner Masoun is another three-year-old with scope for further progress.

ROTOLO took a big step back in the right direction when finding only a progressive rival (whom she conceded first run to) too strong at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and that suggests she's ready to strike. Puturhandstogether and Masoun are a couple of potential threats.

It may be worth taking a chance with recent Leopardstown runner-up ROTOLO despite a doubt raised by her ungainly head carriage

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (13/2 +19%) Ostraka	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(1) Ostraka 13/2, Course winner. 9/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below form tenth of 21 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on pick of form. Running well in the blinkers until they fitted just a tongue-tie here last week.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 +39%) Irish Rumour	11 11/1(+39%)	(8) Irish Rumour 11/1, Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 4/1), unable to sustain effort. Off 133 days. Significantly down in trip. Wasn't at her very best last time at Dundalk and that's where her best form has been.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/2 +39%) James Henry	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(7) James Henry 11/2, Had a good spell on all-weather during the winter, successful twice at up to 7f prior to a creditable second of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) in February, running on. Absent since but claims of hitting the frame if returning to turf in same form. All his form is over longer distances and others might be too sharp for him at 5f.
4	13 4th (13) (7/1 +0%) Gegenpressing	7 7/1(+0%)	(13) Gegenpressing 7/1, Latest win at Sligo in May. 9/1, creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 28 days ago, every chance final 1f and keeping on. Down in trip. May appreciate slightly further but the stiff track will help and he arrives here in form.
4	11 4th (11) (14/1 -17%) She's Smart	14 14/1(-17%)	(11) She's Smart 14/1, Bit below form seventh of 21 in handicap (25/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Not disgraced in a big field here last week over 6f and all her best form is at 5f.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/2 -29%) Never Shout Never	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(3) Never Shout Never 9/2, 9/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 21 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not discounted with his yard amongst the winners. Ran well but didn't get home over the 6f here last week; back at 5f in new cheekpieces.
7th	14 7th (14) (28/1 -12%) Babyface	28 28/1(-12%)	(14) Babyface 28/1, Last of 13 in handicap at Cork (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 8 days ago, very slowly away. Others make greater appeal. Close fifth at Naas in June (5f, good) but three lesser efforts since; out of the weights.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 -75%) Sporting Hero	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Sporting Hero 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Any easing of the ground would be a plus. Couple of respectable races for current team without getting the job done.
9th	6 9th (6) (9/1 +18%) Goldrush Kid	9 9/1(+18%)	(6) Goldrush Kid 9/1, Unfortunately gelding who has improved with each start to date, third of 9 in maiden at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft, 6/1) on return to action in May. Possible he could do better again now handicapping. Best form yet in her final maiden at Sligo (5.5f) and she wasn't well drawn that day.
10th	15 10th (15) (40/1 +20%) Old Chicago	40 40/1(+20%)	(15) Old Chicago 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, fourteenth of 21 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, weakening 2f out. Much more needed. 66-1 when down the field on handicap debut last week (6f); again wrong at the weights.
11th	9 11th (9) (11/1 -57%) Run Forrest Run	11 11/1(-57%)	(9) Run Forrest Run 11/1, Course winner. 15/2, below form tenth of 23 in handicap at Cork (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Hood back on and he's fallen to a handy mark if bouncing back. Disappointing last time but he's a five-time winner and it was a good penultimate effort.
12th	4 12th (4) (4/1 +11%) Merisi Diamond	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Merisi Diamond 4/1, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Below form eighth of 21 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy) in April. Rejoined former stable and drop back down in class rates a plus. Could be vulnerable back from a break, especially as he loves the mud.
13th	12 13th (12) (28/1 -12%) Valentino Express	28 28/1(-12%)	(12) Valentino Express 28/1, 50/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 34 days ago, ridden over 1f out and soon beaten. Others make greater appeal. Showed early speed over the 5f here a month ago but didn't get home; remains a maiden.

Handicap debutant GOLDRUSH KID met with a setback after showing promise on debut at this venue last year. He returned at the back-end to finish runner-up at Navan and again shaped well at Sligo in May. He might prefer an extra furlong, but his trainer has always held him in high regard and the son of Unfortunately could be on a nice mark. Never Shout Never has dropped to a competitive mark and had plenty of rivals behind when fourth over 6f here last weekend. New headgear is fitted and he has won over this trip. A dual course winner over further, Merisi Diamond will be suited by any easing of the ground.

This looks wide open and it could pay to take a chance on OSTRAKA. She wasn't ideally placed when midfield in a big-field handicap here 7 days ago and, with blinkers back on, she could well be seen in a better light from a further reduced mark. Mount Ruapehu is proving inconsistent but capable of playing a part on the pick of his form. Never Shout Never and James Henry are others to note.

A chance is taken on NEVER SHOUT NEVER who didn't quite last home over 6f here last week after racing freely in new blinkers.

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.
