Steve Ryder is back with two selections on Sunday.
2:10 CurraghSee All Odds
Big Gossey 3/1 (1pt)
BIG GOSSEY (best priced at 3/1) has a superb record at the Curragh and he can record his tenth success at the course in his career. The nine-year-old proved he was as good as ever this season defying odds of 25/1 to win the listed Gladness Stakes in March before bouncing back from a below par effort at Naas to finish 2nd in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes over this course and distance last time.
Big Gossey now drops back down in grade and despite having to concede a penalty to his rivals, he looks the one to beat from Stall 5.

4:35 CurraghSee All Odds
Raaheeb 5/2 (1pt)
This is a fascinating renewal of the Irish Derby with the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 10th and 13th all reopposing but I am willing to take a chance on the unbeaten RAHEEB (best priced at 9/4). The Owen Burrows trained colt is a full brother to both Baaeed and Hukum and he made the perfect debut at Ascot as a juvenile winning comfortably at Ascot on soft ground.
Raaheeb then made his reappearance in the Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown when an impressive 3 ¼ length winner and although the form hasn’t worked out too well, he was much the best that day. He missed the Derby off the back of that run but has been targeted at this contest instead and can he can reward the patience of his connections.
