VERDICT

A wide-open handicap over 1m6f to round off the card and cases can be made for plenty The booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye on Noel Meade’s BLACK HAWK EAGLE and he could go well if in the same form as when recording a good victory over 1m5f in a Navan handicap two starts ago Newfoundland was quietly fancied for a Royal Ascot handicap last year and certainly isn’t without a chance on his second start for Joseph O’Brien, while Almuhit is fairly handicapped on the best of his form over hurdles.

Curragh Comment

A typically wide-open handicap to round out proceedings on a fantastic weekend of action, and marginal preference is for STAR KISSED. The Sea The Stars filly struck in a maiden at Bellewstown last month and has been allocated an opening mark of 79 which, judged on her pedigree alone, could prove extremely lenient. The Very Man looks well treated based on his NH form and must be seriously considered, along with Newfoundland, for all that he needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Tipperary. Others to note include Mellow Magic, Black Hawk Eagle and Mr Rango.

WIN: STAR KISSED

DANGER: The Very Man
