Lunigiana sets the standard but a chance is taken SHOWSPINNER, who was runner-up in a Leopardstown barrier trial last month.

CURRAWOOD showed up well in third on debut at the Curragh and clearly caught a tartar when beaten into second at the same track in July. The horses that he split that day have both since delivered in Group 3 company, so the form is very strong. Aidan O'Brien's newcomer Mississippi River ticks plenty of boxes on paper. He made 850,000 guineas at Tattersalls Sales and has a couple of Group 1 entries. Furthermore, he is half-brother to a couple of Listed winners. Saracen cost a pretty penny and is in good hands for his racecourse debut, while Manhattan Chute has a mark of 88 which more than entitles him to be pitching for prize money.

CURRAWOOD has been placed in a couple of decent maidens at the Curragh and is the one to beat for the Paddy Twomey team. Aidan O'Brien has won this twice in recent years so his newcomer Mississippi River would be a possible threat if the betting vibes are positive. Fellow Ballydoyle runner Antelope Canyon is open to progress after his C&D debut fifth.

Not beaten far in two of the strongest Curragh maidens run this season, CURRAWOOD(nap) has the pace to drop down from 7f and should win

Very tricky. WEEGEEBEAR could be the answer dropping in trip after showing speed in two nurseries over further.

WILLIAM F BROWNE's runner-up finish at Roscommon last month gives him a leading chance in this claiming maiden. There was also merit in his sixth place on debut in a Leopardstown maiden. Mighty Day also posted a second place on his latest outing when beaten less than a length in a claiming maiden at Navan. He is a likely contender for a cheque. Shocker's second at Tipperary and fourth in Bellewstown are the pick of his results and those efforts bring him into contention, while Noel Meade takes the wraps off Antoine De Paris who is worth a market check.

A reproduction of the form WILLIAM F BROWNE showed at Roscommon last time will likely be good enough now dropping into a maiden claimer. Mighty Day was second in a similar race at Navan 3 weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Eoghan O'Neill's Shocker.

It might be worth chancing SHOCKER who has a hit and miss profile but has shown enough in maidens to suggest he can land this
Class & Speed Card

BUCK BARROW was well beaten behind some smart performers in maidens and should benefit from stepping up to a mile. Out of a winning half-sister to Group 1 winner Dick Whittington, the selection is a half-brother to four winners and while he was outpaced on his nursery debut at Down Royal recently, finished his race really well and should progress in first-time cheekpieces. Now, a half-sister to Rip Van Winkle, has shown some promise in each of three maidens and should compete from 66, under a 5lb claimer, although it is notable Gavin Ryan stays loyal to the selection. Edergole's Angel has good nursery form but while she finished over three lengths ahead of Now at Leopardstown, is 7lb worse off.

NOW remains with potential going into nurseries and her opening mark is a fair one on the pick of her form. Edergole's Angel made a promising start to life in nurseries when runner-up at the Curragh and is next best ahead of Buck Barrow, who should be suited by the return to 1m.

NOW has shown promise and given that she's closely related to Rip Van Winkle, she may relish this step back up in trip

ROWDY YEATS is drawn wide and has a 185-day layoff to overcome, but he showed notable form on debut and it is encouraging Colin Keane rides him over race-fit stablemate Ben Hur. He contested the season's opener on heavy ground in March when giving the subsequently Group 1-placed winner a race, while the well-held third and fifth both won afterwards. He is worryingly absent since but drops to an auction maiden and, positively, hasn't as yet been gelded. Cercene finished strongly at Gowran and while that form isn't massively strong, should progress, although she is drawn wide and concedes 1lb to the selection. Temperance received 8lb when beaten by a smart previous winner at Cork, but also concedes 1lb to the selection.

It was really encouraging how much ROWDY YEATS showed on debut over 5f and with this trip sure to suit on breeding, he seems a sure-fire improver. Cercene and Temperance are a couple of potential improvers.

It may be worth siding with CERCENE who was a big eyecatcher at Gowran on debut and that form is working out nicely

GALVESTON cost 2m Guineas at the sales last year and this well bred colt may be up to defying inexperience

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.
