Curragh

Tomorrow, May 5, 2025Flat1m2f

Last year's winner WHITE BIRCH doesn't have the benefit of a run this time but he produced a high-class performance when a commanding winner of the Tattersalls Gold Cup 11 months ago and if he returns at that level, he'll take some stopping. Los Angeles is the clear-second choice.

    Verdict
    High-class horse. 3-time C&D winner, including this race s year ago. Career best when winning 8-runner Tattersalls Gold Cup (15/8) at this course (10.5f, good to soft) by 3 lengths from Auguste Rodin, driven clear. Off 11 months but sets the standard on that performance.

    Verdict
    Very smart colt, winning the Irish Derby here in June. 13/2, 8½ lengths ninth of 11 to Anmaat in Champion Stakes at Ascot (10f, soft). Off 6 months but that no concern given yard he represents and this 2-time Group 1 winner is a massive player.

    Verdict
    Smart gelding. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, career best when winning 7-runner Alleged Stakes at this C&D (good) 23 days ago by 2½ lengths from Jan Brueghel, driven out. Seen to maximum effect on that occasion and this is a different ask but he's fit and in form.

    Verdict
    Smart gelding. C&D winner. 15/8, respectable 4½ lengths third of 9 to Sunchart in listed race at Naas (10.4f, heavy) 43 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Can build on that, but he'll certainly need to.

    Useful gelding. Career best when winning 9-runner listed race at Naas (10.4f, heavy, 6/1) 43 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Enfranchise, driven clear. Up against it in this line up.

    Useful gelding. 20/1, first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when creditable 5½ lengths third of 7 to Galen in Alleged Stakes at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, faring best of those held up. This is a different ask.
