2:15 Curragh Tips

Shakespeare is another Ryan Moore ridden A P O'Brien trained favourite that is trying to lose his maiden tag. The Dubawi colt has finished 3rd and 2nd in his first two races and should get his win here.

Shows clear promise and track familiarity at the Curragh. With two runs under his belt, his experience makes him a leading contender and the primary threat to favorite

One of the few in the race with prior experience, and that could come in handy. Decent 3rd at Fairyhouse on debut over 6f. Shakespeare and Anchor Road have both failed to justify favoritism in recent times. David Egan is a good jockey.

£145,000/gns-class Lope De Vega colt. Brother to smart 7f winner Noble Champion. Half-brother to several winners, including Pogo. Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Jockey: D. B. McMonagle. Stable won this race with Al Riffa in 2022.

Horse number 10 is likely to be running well but, there's a few interesting newcomers in this. Raging Bull is from the same yard as Horse number 10. This horse has good form in the pedigree, especially at this sort of distance.

The Captains day is a 90k Breeze up purchase and a half brother to a 2 yr old winner, a notable rider booking in Murphy.

Taking chance on Fort Dearborn to go close here..Placed over 5th in 6 runners at25/1 here last month. Should improve over CD under the hands of Billy Lee today. Trainer j p.murtagh is just 2-38 this season with 2 ye old runners but yard had winners at curragh in the past. Jockey Billy Lee had 11% success at this track riding 2yr old runners. Does well over 7f trips with 16% sr. So I think Fort Dearborn had good ew chance in this one.

Lake Lugano is another interesting looking debutant from the O'brien yard, this trainer has a good record in this race so he knows what types of horses to send to this race.
