Curragh Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Nursery Hcp
MR MONTAUK (9) Tidy run when 2nd last time at Sligo but stepping up to a higher level. Goes down in weight. Will go well. BANKS OF THE BOYNE (2) Placed 2nd last run at Galway and can find a nice position from the draw. Might have to make up considerable ground. Taking on stronger opponents. Strong chance. I READY (1) Finished 4th last time at Galway but gets the perfect draw. Up in class. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope. AWAY AND GONE (6) Well beaten when 7th last run at Fairyhouse and challenged by more formidable competitors. Has shown early pace in races to date. Looks to be value.

Odds of $12.00 and ran 4th last time at Galway but can save some energy from the draw. Up against a higher level of opposition. Not without a chance.

In the money when 2nd last run at Galway and has a positive draw. Likely to get back. Up against tougher rivals. Genuine claims.

Odds of $51.00 and moderate showing when 6th last run at Naas and competing at a higher level of competition. Needs too much luck.

Jumped at $41.00 and came in 4th last run at Bellewstown and competing in a higher grade. Suited by the weight drop. Not in this.

Underperformed when 8th last start at Bellewstown and challenged by a tougher grade. Jockey Oisin Murphy and trainer Donnacha Aidan Obrien are a strong combination. Slim chance.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at Sligo but competing in a more challenging grade. Will benefit with the weight drop. Will attract plenty of interest.
