Curragh
Hard to be confident with this many unexposed, so the yard and the jockey are doing most of the talking.
AR SON NA CUISE gets the vote at 100/1 for Joseph Patrick O'Brien, ridden by Declan McDonogh. Joseph Patrick O'Brien is running at 19% over the past fortnight.
The dangers are BENOWN at 8/13 and CONTROLLA at 7/2.
UNAUTHORIZED at 22/1, Aidan Melia with Reese Holohan taking off 7lb, looks the one to be on. He wears headgear for the first time, handles the ground, with a win from 1 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are INVINCIBLE WILL at 7/1 (a course winner) and MUMHAN at 8/1 (a course winner).
CUBAN GREY is the only confirmed front-runner — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 3.0 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive.
CUBAN GREY at 25/1, Patrick J McKenna with Rory Mulligan taking off 5lb, is the one I make it. He has won here twice, handles the ground, with 2 wins from 4 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are HARRY'S HILL at 33/1 (a course winner) and KEKE at 6/1 (a course winner).
NOBLE EXHIBIT at 10/11, Aidan O'Brien and W. M. Lordan, looks the pick of these. He won last time out and gets a trip he has won over.
One to be careful with: none of these has won or been placed on this ground.
RAHMI at 17/2, J. P. Murtagh with Rory Mulligan taking off 5lb, is the one I want to be on here. He races off a mark 13lb below the 103 it won from back in September 2025 and has already won around this track.
The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are EDDIE G at 9/1 (went close off this mark) and LOVE BILLY BOY at 11/1 (well handicapped).
CARRY THE FLAG at 7/1, Aidan O'Brien and W. M. Lordan, is the one I make it. He has been tried on this ground once in 9 starts, and was placed and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.
The risk is BAYSIDE VIEW, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.9 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.
CASHEL QUEEN rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 75 and runs off 80 — up 5lb.
The main danger is KING OF CLOUGHAN at 6/1 (went close off this mark).
ALMAZANN at 7/2, D K Weld and Chris Hayes, just about gets the nod. He wears headgear for the first time.
One to be careful with: none of these has won or been placed on this ground.
CAMELOT QUEEN at 15/2, Aidan O'Brien and W. M. Lordan, is the one I would side with. He went close off this sort of rating, beaten 1L off 74 (2lb higher than today) on 17 July and was placed on its only start on this ground.
LOOKINGFORARAINBOW rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 4 starts — and today is soft.

The dangers are KAGUYAHIME at 11/10 and SHE'S GOT A WAY at 9/2.
ROUSING ENCORE at 13/2, Ruth Carr and James Sullivan, is the one I would side with. He drops in grade after running 2nd in a Class 2, beaten 0.5L, drops to Class 3 and was not given a hard time of it last time.
ART LOVER rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 9 starts — and today is soft.

The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are PERSIAN LAND at 22/1 (a course winner) and TRUMPETY TRUMP at 17/2.

The dangers are HANDS TO YOURSELF at 6/4 and IMPASTO at 13/8.

LIBERATED LIGHT at 15/2, John E & Thomas Kiely and Mr J L Gleeson, is the one that stands out. He is back quickly, ran 5 days ago, handles the ground, with a win from 13 on it and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns, upgrade from a 8% rider to 17%.
The dangers are TROPICAL IMAGE at 15/2 (a course winner) and LADIAM at 9/1 (well handicapped).
EL CHAMPO at 14/1, P J Rothwell with Harry Sexton taking off 7lb, is the bet, and this is the profile the whole thing is built around. He won by 30 lengths and was raised only 7lb for it, leaving 11lb in hand and has won here.

The dangers are LE GRAND VERT at 16/1 and SPHAGNUM at 20/1 (staying on last time).

The one worry is weakened last time.
NO MORE TEARDROPS rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.
