The going at the Curragh is now Yielding (straight) and Good to Yielding (on round course) after 5mm of rain.

There is a risk of light showers this morning, with a dry afternoon expected. The stalls are in the centre for all sprints.

The first of eight races gets under way at 1.45pm - Coill Avon and Michael O'Callaghan's newcomer I Am Magnetic are both shortening for this six furlong juvenile maiden. Duke Of Mantua is a notable non runner.

Another couple of horses making their debuts in the juvenile fillies' maiden at 2.20 are attracting support - O'Callaghan's Moon In Her Eye (who has a Group 2 entry) and Ken Condon's Thunder Beauty

The featured Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup is at 2.55pm and Magical is a warm order to retain her crown. Call Of The Jungle has almost halved in price (10/1 - 11/2) for the five-furlong maiden at 5.15pm.
