The Handicapper allots ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicapper to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring penalties and allowances).
The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicapped races the rating shown is that each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

LAUGH A MINUTE has won this for the last couple of years and can complete the hat-trick. The nine-year-old has been a grand servant for Ado McGuiness and his recent comeback spin at Dundalk should have put him spot-on. Big Gossey is making his 29th competitive appearance at the Curragh and always warrants consideration here, despite his welter burden. Mickey The Steel had Stag Night, Two Stars and the selection just behind when successful over C&D on the final day of the 2023 turf season. Never Shout Never, a new recruit to the McGuinness stable, also commands attention.

OLD FAITHFUL has the honour of being the first Ballydoyle runner of the new turf season and has experience to draw upon. The expensive Siyouni colt made the frame in his first three starts, handling testing conditions when runner-up at Listowel, so his subsequent failure at Gowran can be put down to the extended mile, rather than the heavy ground. Marty The Party offered plenty of encouragement as a juvenile, particularly when a close-up third here, and he is closely matched with Slaney Swagger on that evidence. Procrastinate, also by Siyouni, fetched 100,000 euros so has to be taken seriously.
WIN: OLD FAITHFUL

Mayfair is a full-sister to Listed winner Unless and it would be no surprise to see her improve on her fourth at Galway in August last year to get into contention. However, NEXT TRICK arguably showed more promise when finishing third on her debut over 6f here last summer and she is likely to have learned a great deal from that experience. Dermot Weld’s three-year-old could prove tough to beat with normal improvement. Gaenari has competed at Group level on each of her last three starts and holds an obvious chance.
WIN: NEXT TRICK

2023 - 1st Insinuendo 2nd Redressed (GB) 3rd Kerkiyra (1 min. 50.1 sec.)
Magical Sunset rates a fascinating contender on her first start since joining the Adrian Murray stable and she very much sets the standard with a joint-top rating of 105. However, a chance can be taken on ALPHERATZ, who took her maiden in fine fashion at Gowran Park, beating Kisiyra (third) in heavy conditions by a wider margin than Everlasting did subsequently. The daughter of Phoenix Of Spain is likely to relish the conditions in a first-time hood and she gets the nod. Brilliant has twice been placed at Group 3 level and also has to be considered.
WIN: ALPHERATZ
DANGER: Magical Sunset
THECURRAGHRACECOURSEHERETOHELP!
Ask our team of customer service personnel if you need help, information or assistance. They will be located throughout the enclosures.
At every race meeting there are specially qualified equine veterinary surgeons on duty to look after the wellbeing of all the horses racing. There is a vet in attendance at the start of each race who, follows the horses throughout the race and is quickly on hand if an injury occurs.
It is normal procedure to erect screens around any horse receiving veterinary treatment. This allows the veterinary surgeon some privacy to fully assess the horses’ injuries and race goers should not assume the worst if screens are erected around an injured horse.
The Blue Cross ambulance is always present to transport the horse back to the stable yard for further treatment if necessary.
A second veterinary surgeon is in attendance in the stable yard to assess and treat any horses requiring such attention post race. The horses’ welfare is always our priority.

This valuable prize has gone to a four-year-old on each of the last three renewals, and LAN CINNTE could improve on that record. Jessica Harrington’s filly did just enough to score by a short head at Galway in August last year and she only has a 2lb rise to contend with. If she has improved over the winter, then she ought to go very close off a mark of 88. Serious Challenge, who placed in a Listed event at Limerick in June before being beaten two lengths into fourth in the same grade at Roscommon next time, also has to be considered. Last year’s third Casanova and San Aer, who was fourth, also merit consideration.
WIN: LAN CINNTE

This is a tricky puzzle for punters to solve, but there is plenty to like about the unexposed profile of handicap debutant SEE ME THROUGH. He shaped as though a return to a mile would suit when making the frame over Galway’s 7f on his third outing in October and, with scope for further improvement this year, an opening mark of 68 looks workable for Ross O’Sullivan’s colt. Beauty Bella arrives on the back of a Dundalk maiden success and she retains the services of Jack Cleary, whose 7lb claim will help. Superior Force went close on the all-weather last month and must be respected off a 2lb higher rating, while Global Energy went up 5lb for his 1m2f victory at Leopardstown in the autumn but remains one to consider.

Formerly trained by Joanna Morgan, MERISI DIAMOND justified strong support in the market when opening his account over 7f here in late October. Now under the tutelage of Martin Brassil, a 9lb rise may not be enough to prevent the unexposed five-year-old from going in again, with a drop to 6f unlikely to hamper his chance. Mercurial posted a solid second over C&D on the same card as the selection and he’s feared most racing in similar conditions. The reappearing duo of Downforce and Angel On Fire are also worthy of consideration
