4:17 Curragh Tips

2nd in the Irish Lincoln three weeks ago when clear of the rest. Goes up in trip here and should be able to dominate this field to win today.

Won over 7f. Has not won a handicap yet but was sent off favourite for the Irish Lincoln and met trouble that day. Top jockey has kept faith with him and so have I. Should go well.

At the foot of the weights and just fourth start for the Cromwell team. Second on the level after finishing third here from this mark in October on debut. The net last winning mark was this rating.

Ribee is the clear standout. He arrives in peak condition, having demolished a 26-runner field over a mile at this track only two weeks ago. While he was tested in Class 1 company at Naas last time, the return to handicap level represents a vital class drop. He is a 'mud-lark' who thrives on soft/heavy ground, and his high ROI at this track suggests he is perfectly suited to the Curragh's demands.

At 14-1, Glen To Glen is chanced for the Joseph O'Brien yard. Disappointed when well backed for the Fred Winter Hurdle 24 days ago. On the Flat, some solid efforts since winning a maiden in March 2025. Ran fourth of 15 on first run for this yard in a Class 2 handicap over this 10f trip at Royal Ascot. 16-1 winner on third maiden hurdle start (which wouldn't have been expected). Interesting and could be quite well handicapped on a mark of 87 (OR 91). Has run ok (a second at 5-4F) over course and distance before.

After placing 5th at the Curragh, she flourishes on the expected soft ground. With a light weight and a shift back to her preferred distance, her reliable stamina and experience over this course make her a compelling each-way bet at 18/1.
