UK Horse Racing Tips: Curragh

A marked improver from first to second start when dropping to this distance at Naas last time out, SAVILE ROW should have plenty more to come for his leading connections and he can get off the mark. Now in the hands of local trainer Michael Grassick with Colin Keane a notable booking, White Smoke outran her odds of 100/1 to finish second over C&D last month and is entitled to be thereabouts again. The well-bred Armada De Lope looks the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Savile Row 2nd White Smoke 3rd Armada De Lope

A versatile sort who has got the hang of the sprinting game over the summer, NEZEEH impressed despite being slowly away when scoring at Navan earlier in the month and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Last year's impressive winner Keke must enter calculations dropping back in trip, along with old rival Red Evolution, who was last seen scoring comfortably at Cork in July. An eye-catching third on his first start for the Stephen Thorne stable here lately, Sir Les Patterson completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Nezeeh 2nd Keke 3rd Red Evolution

Aidan O'Brien's record in this race could hardly be more impressive and both Ballydolye contenders Hawk Mountain and Port Of Spain are serious players. Both come into this on the back of a win but the former readily held sway when they clashed in a maiden here last month and the son of Wootton Bassett looks to be the yard's first string. However, GERYON's second in the Futurity is the best form on offer and he's a very bright prospect for Ger Lyons to go to war with.
Prediction : 1st Geryon 2nd Hawk Mountain 3rd Port Of Spain

GENUINE ARTICLE has held his form well this season and may find dropping back down to 7f is a route well worth exploring. Having filled the runner-up berth in the Irish Cambridgeshire before posting another narrow defeat over an extended mile at Galway, this shorter trip could prove ideal for the prominent racer. Engines On is an old rival who could have a big say, while Flaming Rib and Monsieur Fudge are interesting options starting out for new yards.
Prediction : 1st Genuine Article 2nd Engines On 3rd Flaming Rib

COMPOSING looks a cut above the opposition. A Group 2 winner here, she finished a respectable fourth in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes last time, and her prominent style of racing should help the Ballydoyle filly stay clear of any trouble in-running in a huge field. Third in the Phoenix Stakes over 6f, Green Sense could feature representing last year's winning yard, while the maiden winners Take Charge Star and Phenomenal Filly have plenty of scope for further improvement.
Prediction : 1st Composing 2nd Green Sense 3rd Take Charge Star

A winner over 7f at Galway, COLLECTING COIN finished a creditable third over a mile at Killarney last time. The runner-up has subsequently franked that form and Jessica Harrington's son of Lope De Vega gets another chance back over today's trip. Iceford landed a handicap over C&D back in May and can have a say in proceedings, while the unexposed 6f winner Charasson has scope for improvement stepping up in distance after finding life tough in Listed company.
Prediction : 1st Collecting Coin 2nd Iceford 3rd Charasson

Juniper Sling sets the standard with an official rating of 78 but although respected, she has ground to make up with Simurgh, who finished almost two lengths ahead of her in second at Roscommon earlier this month. Dawn Coming made a pleasing introduction over the mile here in June and enters calculations but a chance can be taken on newcomer DUVESSA. The daughter of Make Believe is related to four separate winners over various trips, of which a couple, perhaps crucially, appeared to handle the forecast ground conditions.
Prediction : 1st Duvessa 2nd Simurgh 3rd Juniper Sling

SUBSONIC remains a maiden after four starts but that doesn't tell the whole story, as she's had to chase the tail of multiple Oaks-heroine Minnie Hauk twice in her career. Johnny Murtagh's filly was crying out for room in the closing stages an Navan latest but she shouldn't have the same issue berthed well today, and the Lope De Vega filly can belatedly open her account. The ultra-consistent Tswalu deserves a change of luck but minor honours could await her once more, while Carthusian and Candleford Green are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Subsonic 2nd Tswalu 3rd Carthusian
