Curragh 14:50 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

Bought out of William Haggas' yard in the autumn, HEADMASTER has already recouped his purchase price of 48,000gns after a win here in May and a fine second over 7f at Cork last month. He's up another 3lb for that latest run, but there should be more to come from the superbly-bred four-year-old, who is by Dubawi out of three-time Prix de la Foret winner One Master. Dark Ace is also progressive and, after a profitable spring campaign in Britain, was a closing third over 5f here on Derby weekend behind Genesis. He'll be suited by stepping back up in distance. Prolific handicap winners in Britain, Dark Thirty and Sondad have to enter calculations too.

Prediction: 1st Headmaster, 2nd Dark Ace, 3rd Dark Thirty
