Review curragh 21st May

< Awtaad lit up the Curragh on Saturday when running out a stunning winner of the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas for trainer Kevin Prendergast.

The veteran handler has made no secret of the esteem in which he holds the son of Cape Cross and Chris Hayes appeared similarly confident throughout the one mile showpiece, breezing through the early exchanges before asking his mount to seal matters two furlongs from home.

The response was immediate and impressive as the 9-2 chance quickened clear of English Guineas hero Galileo Gold who, despite not enjoying the perfect passage, was ultimately put in his place and still had two and a half lengths to find at the line.< Blue De Vega ran on well from the rear to fill the placings.

A trip to Royal Ascot awaits for Caravaggio after he maintained his unbeaten record in the Cold Move EBF Marble Hill Stakes.

The 4-7 market leader didn't appear to be in love with the soft underfoot conditions but picked up really well once finding his stride, running down Mister Trader in good style to score by two and a quarter lengths.

While hot favourite Don't Touch lost his unbeaten record in the Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes, Mobsta (14-1) ensured the prize will still be heading to England after edging out Flight Risk by a head in a thrilling finish.< Devonshire (4-1) bagged the biggest prize of her career so far when seeing off Irish Rookie by two lengths in the Lanwades Stud Stakes, sitting just off the pace before sealing matters with a telling turn of foot.< Brave Anna (9-2) took a big step forward from her debut when running down her rivals to land the Lester Piggot FBD Hotels & Resorts EBF Fund Fillies Maiden by a length while Downforce (7-1) looks a sprinter on the upgrade judging by his three and a half length defeat of Penny Pepper in the BAM Handicap.
