Curragh 14:25 Odds Comparison

Won both starts since debut, progressing from maiden to handicap company, justifying favouritism at Naas over 7f (13/8F) in March, a useful effort. Wearing cheekpieces for the first time, the step up to 1m looks sure to suit (bred to stay further) and he looks the one to beat.

Second over this C&D in Group 2 company last September, but only fourth of 11 in a Group 3 at Leopardstown (17/2) 22 days ago, unsuited by the drop to 7f, so should be better suited back at 1m.

Has improved since cheekpieces were applied (2 from 3), including a third in Listed race in March followed by winning at Gowran Park (10/11) 26 days ago, beating Greek Mythology. Gives the impression that the step up to 1m will suit.

Improved on 2-y-o form when runner-up in a Group 2 at Doha in February but failed to confirm that improvement when third of 7 in a substandard listed race at Newcastle (7/4F) in April. First-time cheekpieces on return to turf, likely to find one or two too good.

Showed improved form upped in grade when third of 11 in a Group 3 at Leopardstown (25/1) 22 days ago, faring best of those held up. Drops to listed level but likely find a few too good.

Won muddling contest on debut last December and was second of 4 at Gowran Park (13/2) 26 days ago, behind Neolithic, had to wait for gap over 1f out but ran on. Steps up in trip and is bred to stay at least 1m.

Won a maiden at Dundalk in October then sixth of 11 in a Group 3 at Leopardstown (18/1) 22 days ago, showing improved form stepped up in grade. Lightly raced and open to improvement over 1m.

Won maiden at Gowran Park last September. Second of 3 at Naas (11/4) in March on return from 6 months off, running as well as entitled to against a pair with superior juvenile form. More needed.
