Curragh Race 1 - Irish European Breeders Fund Median Sires Series Maiden
ISCHGL (9) appeals as the leading chance after finishing 2nd at Curragh over this trip last start, beaten 6L in a small field. DUKE OF ARRAKIS (5) was 7th in the same race but faces a lighter weight and a better barrier. The remainder of the field are debutants, including BELICOSO (1), IMMORTAL GUARD (2), and HIGH MORALS (4), who all bring strong pedigrees to their first outing.
