A good set of results on Friday saw Sam's Choice finish 2nd at Downpatrick, the 9/4 joint favourite was 3rd at halfway going 2nd two out. He led at the last but was passed 50 yards from the finish by Inclusion who won by 1/2 a length. Over at Dundalk Freedom Falls finished 5th,the 11/4 shot was 4th at halfway but had no extra in the final 150 yards while upfront Malleymoo won by 1 1/4 lengths. In the 5.30 King Of Scotia was 2nd. The 11/10 favourite led from 1 1/2 furlongs out but after drifting left inside the final furlong he was passed in the closing stages by Brighter London who came home by 3/4 of a length.
There are 8 races at The Curragh and 7 at Fairyhouse on a busy Saturday where 3 contests stand out.
The Curragh 2.00: Staffordstown Stud Stakes (Group 3)
1: Be Happy: A promising horse who won on debut at Cork 31 days ago. She came home by 1 1/4 lengths and with plenty more to offer she should be well up there again and follow up for a trainer who has won five of the last eight runnings of this race.
The Curragh 2.35: Bord Na Mona Recycling Brigid's Pastures Stakes.
6: Pretty Rebel: A useful mare who picked up her latest win at Cork last month. She was a good second when last seen at Gowran Park 3 weeks ago despite being slowly away and holds the edge on form. She should achieve the third course win of her career here.
Fairyhouse 3.20: Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Chase.
10: Hurricane Darwin: Has two wins from two runs this season his last was an improved performance at Listowel 2 weeks ago. He switches from hurdles to chasing here and has to be taken seriously on his hat-trick bid.
