Both venues host interesting races on the flat.

At the Curragh (ground yielding) there are two G3s, the Alleged and the Gladness.  In the former there isn't much between the two current top picks Helvic Dream 4/1 from Noel Meade's yard with Chris Hayes in the irons, and Georgeville 5/1 Ger Lyons and Colin Keane.  High Definition is another possibility on 5/1 for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore.

The Gladness sees the Lyons-Keane runner Markaz Paname a hot fav on 5/4, with Ado McGuiness's Current Options on 6/1 and Thunder Moon 13/2 for Joseph )'B and Shane Cross.

In Paris (ground good to soft) it's two G3s and a G2.  The youngsters go in the G3s – fillies in the Vanteaux and the boys in the Prix de la Force.  In the fillies' race look for Singforthemoment 15/8 with Olivier Peslier riding for Ferland and in an open field after that we're going for Pourquoi Pas on 10/1 pourquoi pas, and Tonka 11/4.

The Prix de la Force only has 6 runners and Caracal and Dreamflight are both on 2/1 – a "watch" race!

The G2 Prix d'Harcourt is a beauty with Skalleti 11/8 and Sealiway 5/2 toppin the market and we like Mare Australis 4/1.
