4/10/25 The Curragh & Gowran Park

 Friday's winner came at Gowran Park where Liadawn sat 2nd approaching halfway making progress to lead from 2 out, the 8/11 favourite was passed soon after but travelled well to lead for a second time in the final 100 yards keeping on well to beat Maximillian Lady by 2 lengths. At Dundalk Ipanema Queen didn't run because the meeting was abandoned due to high winds and safety concerns. The meeting has yet to be rearranged. 

 There is another double header on Saturday which sees 8 races at both The Curragh and Gowran Park with 2 topping the bill. 

The Curragh 2.17: Darley Irish EBF Brigid's Pastures Stakes.

6: Carla Ridge: A decent horse who has run well this season at Naas finishing 2nd in a listed race and 3rd in a pair of group three's. She disappointed on this course last time not being seen at her best but she can improve on that here and win for a 2nd time in her career. 

Gowran Park 4.15: PWC Champion Chase (Grade 2.)

5: Western Fold: A smart chaser who completed a hat-trick with a career best win in the Galway plate 66 days ago. He was 2nd at halfway leading at the last, he kept on well in the closing stages coming home by 4 1/2 lengths. He should take the step up in his stride and is the one to beat here.
