UK Horse Racing Tips: Curragh

Solar Saving sets a clear standard of those with race experience following his third at Navan on Wednesday. That said, preference is for ILLINOIS, who is a half-brother to the five-time Group 1 winner Danedream and he is also a full-brother to the Group 3 scorers Venice Beach and Broadway. Invention is another well-bred newcomer who merits plenty of respect on his racecourse bow, while Mont St Michel and Tour Of Duty complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Illinois 2nd Solar Saving 3rd Invention

KITTY ROSE has made a very impressive start to her career and she arrives here seeking to add to her record of two wins from two starts. Natalia Lupini's charge shed her maiden tag over 7f at Naas before scoring in Listed company over the extended 7f at Leopardstown, and she appears primed to give another good account. Brilliant is feared most for the powerful Aidan O'Brien yard, while French recruit Dare To Dream will enjoy the ground on her first outing on these shores.
Prediction : 1st Kitty Rose 2nd Brilliant 3rd Dare To Dream

There is a lot to like about the chance held by Whatcouldhavebeen as she reverts to the level for the first time since winning at Galway off 8lb lower last October. Her strong hurdles form only boosts her profile. However, PACHMENA has been placed over C&D twice before now and, given she has been given a live chance by the handicapper, this could be her day to shine. Let Her Loose, Narlita and Plains Indian are also considered.
Prediction : 1st Pachmena 2nd Whatcouldhavebeen 3rd Let Her Loose

This can go the way of FOUR BLONDES, who wasn't beaten far at Naas last month. Her third-placed finish on debut behind the talented Cherry Blossom appeals as strong form as well, and she is preferred to Slaney Swagger, who must be of interest dropping in trip after a decent debut effort over a mile here recently. The class-dropping Blame Thechampagne can also have a say, along with well-bred newcomer Next Trick.
Prediction : 1st Four Blondes 2nd Slaney Swagger 3rd Next Trick

PINAFORE bounced back to winning ways at Nottingham on her latest start when delivering a career-best effort. That was also the first time she had encountered soft ground and there is every chance the daughter of Dark Angel may find another chunk of improvement. Aussie Girl continues to be in fine form and enters the reckoning once again following her recent fourth at Ayr. Bells On Her Toes and My Eyes Adore You appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Pinafore 2nd Aussie Girl 3rd Bells On Her Toes

POP STAR could be the one for leading connections. Aidan O'Brien's unexposed three-year-old left a lasting impression when getting off the mark at the third attempt in first-time blinkers on his Navan return, and a mark of 82 could really underestimate this son of Sioux Nation on his handicap debut. Harry's Hill is 2-6 over C&D and must be taken seriously, while Petit Calvados brings decent French form to the table and Mymomentintime is expected to go well from the foot of the weights.
Prediction : 1st Pop Star 2nd Harrys Hill 3rd Mymomentintime

LOINGSEOIR would appear to have been teed up for this again having won the previous two renewals, the latest off 7lb lower. His recent course fourth would suggest he is more than capable of competing from his current mark, though, and he is fancied to complete the hat-trick. Rampage is 7lb better off with his Bellewstown conqueror Mogwli and it would be no surprise were he to reverse that form. Others to note include Lady Arwen, Hokusai and Speckled Meadow.
Prediction : 1st Loingseoir 2nd Rampage 3rd Mogwli

MAGICAL VISION excels when the mud is flying so the more rain the better. The lightly-raced six-year-old has enjoyed a summer break since failing in her bid for the four-timer over C&D back in April and she is back down to a nice mark. The ex-French Universally is settling into Irish life nicely and deserved his breakthrough success at Fairyhouse. He is up 8lb, which is 1lb less than the hike Run Forrest Run got for his comprehensive Cork victory. Transcendental and Sounds Of Spring are a couple more to consider.
Prediction : 1st Magical Vision 2nd Universally 3rd Run Forrest Run
