13:25 Curragh (R1) 5f C Mdn Stks 9 runners

Analyst Verdict 1-2-3

Preference is for FORCE NOIR, who makes plenty of appeal on paper and is partnered by David Egan who is seeking a third straight win in this maiden. He gets the vote ahead of stablemate What A Girl Wants, who also represents precocious first-season-sire Persian Force, with Equus Victor completing the shortlist.

3 (5)

FORCE NOIR (IRE) David Egan

6/52.2

Foaled March 19. €68,000 foal, €130,000 yearling, Persian Force colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 7.4f winner Andromaca and 6f winner Raneenn. Dam maiden (stayed 7f). Could be the pick of the trainer's quartet based on jockey bookings. Position Prediction: 1

9 (6)

WHAT A GIRL WANTS (IRE) Rowan Scott

3/14

Foaled February 1. 90,000 gns yearling, Persian Force filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 8.4f Dubai Dominion and winner up to 6f Evening Saigon, both useful. Helps to give connections a strong hand in the race. Position Prediction: 2

2 (4)

EQUUS VICTOR (IRE) Shane Foley

10/34.33

Foaled January 16. 90,000 gns yearling, Blackbeard colt. Closely related to 7f/1m winner Bellissime. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to 9.5f-11f winner Honour System and 7f-9.5f winner Frontier Fighter (both smart). One to note given his speedy first-season-sire. Position Prediction: 3
