UK Horse Racing Tips: Curragh

RECALL THE SHOW took a step forward to finish just a nose second in a similar event at Down Royal late last month and there is every chance that he will go one better this afternoon. Hong Kong displayed some promise on his debut over C&D in June and he should only improve for that experience. The pick of the newcomers is clearly Paradiso, who is a full-brother to the Group 1 winners Churchill and Clemmie, while Bright Idea and Sherpa complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Recall The Show 2nd Hong Kong 3rd Paradiso

GLAMOROUS POWER was unable to build on her promising juvenile efforts on her return to action at Navan in March. She returns from just over four months off the track and remains open to further improvement on her fourth career outing. Castletownshend has been knocking on the door on his last couple of outings and could be suited by the drop to the minimum distance, while others to consider include Sun Sign and No Nay Yellow.
Prediction : 1st Glamorous Power 2nd Castletownshend 3rd Sun Sign

Aidan O'Brien has won this in 2015 and 2016 and has assembled a three-strong squad this time. Debutant Heaven Of Heavens is related to a couple of top-quality Ballydoyle alumni, while Meeting and Holy Roman Empress were both down the field on debut, but could have plenty of improvement to come. Truth Prevails was closely matched with Holy Roman Empress when they met at Naas and is respected, but preference is for ONE LAST LOOK, who was a winner at Leopardstown on debut and wasn't disgraced in a Group 3 at the same venue last time.
Prediction : 1st One Last Look 2nd Holy Roman Empress 3rd Meeting

SISKIN is difficult to oppose after readily accounting for his main rival tonight, Monarch Of Egypt (second), in the Railway Stakes over course and distance in June. Ger Lyons' colt remains open to further improvement on just his fourth career start. The last-named was returning from a short break on that occasion and could feasibly finish closer to the selection this evening, while July Stakes winner Royal Lytham is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Siskin 2nd Monarch Of Egypt 3rd Royal Lytham

Woody Creek had Southern Horse (fourth), Beckford (fifth) and Gordon Lord Byron (sixth) in arrears when finishing a head second in a Listed contest over track and trip in June and could give another good account, though she was narrowly behind SERVALAN when runner-up over this trip at Naas last time and Jessica Harrington's charge is expected to confirm the form. Popular veteran Gordon Lord Byron has made the podium in this contest for the last two years and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Servalan 2nd Woody Creek 3rd Gordon Lord Byron

POWERSVILLE arrives in excellent form, having won two of her last three outings, and an 8lb rise for her Naas victory 16 days ago may not be enough to stop Tom Mullins' mare from striking again. Bahlwan returned to winning form at Down Royal a fortnight ago and has to enter the reckoning despite the handicapper giving him 7lb for that success, while Sweetest Taboo's recent consistency gives her a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Powersville 2nd Bahlwan 3rd Sweetest Taboo

GREAT GREY caught the eye when second at Limerick in June and makes plenty of appeal off a mark of 80. The Famous Name colt placed in a good contest at Galway last September and doesn't have many miles on the clock for his age. St Brelades Bay caught the eye in a first-time tongue tie here over 7f in May and enters calculations, while the unexposed Manqoosh has the right profile for such a race and is noted.
Prediction : 1st Great Grey 2nd St Brelades Bay 3rd Manqoosh
