The best on a poor Saturday at The Curragh came from Garrus who was 4th,the 2/1 joint favourite was at the rear but improved to sit 6th 2 out. He was 4th soon after keeping on at one pace while upfront the other joint favourite Art Power won easily beating Big Gossey by 4 3/4 lengths. In the Irish 2,000 Guineas Royal Scotsman was 9th in a race won by Paddington who beat Cairo by 2 lengths.
The weekend concludes with 8 races on a 3rd day at The Curragh where 3 stand out.
2.45: Tattersalls Gold Cup (Group 1)
5: Vadeni: An excellent colt who was 4th behind Iresine on his return in the Prix Ganay at Longchamp a month ago. He wasn't disgraced there and judged on his form last season including a second in the Arc he just gets the nod in what is a highly competitive race.
3.15: Lanwades Stud Stakes (Group 2)
4: Jumbly: A useful filly who was last seen winning the Group 3 Valiant Stakes at Ascot back in July. She challenged inside the final furlong leading on the line beating Oscula by a nose. She has since moved to the yard of Joseph O’Brien making her debut for him here and despite being off 10 months there is more to come making her the pick.
3.50: Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas (Group 1)
8: Tahiyra: Won the Moyglare Stud Stakes here in September impressively beating the reopposing Meditate by 2 1/4 lengths. She ran well on her return just failing to beat Mawj in the English 1,000 at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and should be hard to beat here.
