2:30 Curragh Tips

Factual Fact can go well for the Henry de Bromhead yard. Factual Fact was only beat over track and trip last time out, has placed in all three races, and can do better today.

Nancee Spain has previously won over the distance. The horse did so last time out at Roscommon, winning by an easy 15 lengths.

Does look a good each-way spot to take. Way lower than its last winning mark, so looks ready to me. Likes the distance and ran well enough last time to certainly get in the top 4 here, if not more.

2 years off with injury, but previously was very progressive, and he could easily be a better horse at 6 yo. I often go by the remit that you wouldn't risk fitness after an injury break, and they'll certainly be keen to make up for lost time.

God Of Thunder is a 7yo gelding trained by Denis Gerard Hogan is fairly useful duel purpose horse who is a four time winner over both codes and thrice a winner over todays trip with two wins coming this time of year in March and April - his three flat wins have come off marks of 70-77-73 and runs off 74 so is fairly well handicapped and could figure here today with two recent runs under his belt.

He was last of nine on his reappearance at Dundalk two weeks ago, but he hasn't gone well on that surface previously. He should strip fitter second time up today. He is a twice-winning hurdler who won over this distance on the flat at Killarney on soft ground last July, off 2 lb lower, and he could well make the frame today.

I think that Mr Rango might just outrun his odds here. He's an outsider but capable off this mark and will handle the ground conditions. I think the combination of ground conditions and trip will suit.

Nelson Muntz has been running quite well over hurdles most recently and could go well on his return to the level. Ground won't be a problem, as he was caught in the last strides in a heavy-ground flat maiden in 2024; the winner since has boosted the form.
