Curragh 3.15

Famous 9/2 betfair

Carried alot of money last time out @ 2/1 but didn't show up, O'Brien's horses have been hit and miss so far hopefully it needed that run and the right Famous turns up today


5.15.

Gone for a couple in this flat race.

Massyoun 20/1 E/W now into 12/1

Found nothing after coming to the front along side Tetlam over 1m5f last time I think the step up to 2m will suit it, going off a low weight I think it will be in the mix but question will be does it find something this time.

Sheer Genius 10/1 E/W

8th in the Champion Bumper if coming out of that race well should have a good chance here, a couple of horses who finished just infront have come out and won since the race, tricky race though with the likes of Mullins, Weld and Henderson having runners in this.

Good Luck Wire85 - O'Briens definitely coming on for the run thus far this year.

Keep an eye on the winner of the 2yo Maiden at The Curragh - O'Brien's won it for the past two years (ie/ since it's been run over 6f instead of 7) with Mastercraftsman and Alfred Nobel.

elegant dancer .4.20 . beverley 5/1

Little more on Famous as its on the drift now.

Park Avenue @ 9/2 in the first at Curragh

Hopefully Murtagh and O'Brien have a good day.

Dubai Crest 12/1 E/W

14:55 Windsor

16:20 Down Royal

Send For Paddy - Not a strong selection but an interesting horse in the context of this particular race. He's been running mainly in point-to-points throughout his limied career thus far but proved he'll stay further than this at Toomebridge, West Curragh-Naul and Loughanmore early in his career. He's been running over regulation fences since with the best effort being a remote third in a handicap chase last time out. The favourite is a solid horse in the context of this race but with jumping doubts about him and the second favourite it may pay to look for a horse at a bigger price. Send For Paddy has won on a sound surface before and encounters good to firm going for the first time in his career on a conventional racecourse. The trainer doesn't have the greatest record (yet to train a winner under rules) but the first time blinkers may well help Send For Paddy and he's been nibbled at this morning.

Advice: 1pt Win, 1pt Place @ 33/1 (Bet365, Boylesports, William Hill)

Also backed Royalfolie each-way at 33/1 with Bet365 in the last at Down Royal - interesting runner for a top owner and the trainer's not the worst around. Been a bit of support for it this morning so fingers crossed.

Chester Cup on Weds working so won't be able to go

Fiulin of Evan Williams yard has caught the eye Williams is mostly a jumps trainer then flat, Fiulin was sent to him as the most expensive horse in the yard 280,000 gns buy late last year and was hoped to be a top class hurdle horse not been given the best of chances so far with only two goes both at Cheltenham one a Class 1 Grade 2 and the other being the Supreme Novice Hurdle where it came 7th.

Spent last year mostly in Group 2 and 3 races on the flat while with Marco Botti and never getting close interesting that they are going back on the flat with it also that Jonny Murtagh is booked to ride it.

25/1

In the race after Look Busy 7.4 betfair will probs get my money stood out in a couple of races last year that I remember, one being when it missed the break in a 5f race but came home like a train.

Remember it well Wire - Haydock in May, 33/1 did quite nicely for me given the SP

Had a tip for Fiulin myself yesterday so fingers crossed and hoping for a price about one on Thursday too

Not that best of draws for Fiulin so will need abit of luck but you always do, going to see if I can get a little info on it today

Look Busy is drawn really well I think its alot more important in the short races like this at Chester to have a low draw then say Chester Cup over 2m2f

Got a claimer on taking 5lbs off should put it right in the mix won first time out last season, that Haydock race when it won was a Group 2 only time it was in handicap was that race where it missed the break ended up giving away about 8 lengths but came back to nearly grab a place, only got a little at the 7s last night into 6s now don't know if I should take that or wait yet.
