Irish Guineas weekend at the Curragh

The 2000 Gns will be run on Saturday and the 1000 Gns Sunday.

We will look at Saturday's race here.  English raider Rosallion is by Blue Point and was second in the UK 2000 Gns.  Since then he trialled very well and comes in to this on evens.  Richard Hannon has Sean Levy riding as usual.  River Tiber is by Wooton Bassett and this is his first race since September 2023.  Ryan Moore in the saddle for Aidan O'Brien and they are on 4/1.  We like the chances of Haatem here, another English raider coming from the UK equivalent race where he was third and before that he won the Craven Stakes.  Jamie Spencer rides for Richard Hannon and they are on 5/1.

Also on the card is the Marble Hill Stakes this year in memory of Theresa Marnane.  It's G3 for the 2yos and over 1200m.  There are a number of these who are having their second starts after winning on debut.  They are Camille Pissaro by Wooton Bassett on 11/8 for O'Brien-Moore, Midnight Strike by Starspangledbanner on 5/2 and the filly Unexpected Issues on 11/2.

The Greenland Stakes is G2 over 1200m with 13 runners headed by Art Power on 7/2 for Tim Easterby and David Allan.  However we think Moss Tucker is probably the go here on 4/1 for Kevin Condon and Billy Lee and on the same quote Shouldvebeenaring who just lost the Clipper by a nose at York recently.  Richard Hannon and Sean Levy as usual.

We will preview the 1000 Gns later after seeing what the track is like – supposed to be Good to Firm, the weather and more info are available.
