Johnny Murtagh hopes Fort Knox can give him a first Classic success as a trainer in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at The Curragh on Saturday. The multiple Classic-winning jockey has been assisting Tommy Carmody for the past couple of seasons, but has now taken over the reins at his Curragh ya...

Jamie Spencer is set to deploy his familiar ‘head waiter’ tactics aboard Havana Gold in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at The Curragh on Saturday. Richard Hannon's colt ran a blinder in the French equivalent, hitting the front inside the final furlong before eventually being run out of it into...

NOOR AL HAYA popped-up at a big price at Bath last week and carries a penalty for that success. However, she has little to beat in this and may well follow-up. Exclusion looks a danger on her recent fourth at Warwick though she drops back in trip today along with Booktheband. I Need A Dollar may do...

Despite top weight, the unexposed Don't Be Late must have a chance in a weak-looking finale. Zelos Diktator won at Southwell and Stratford in the spring while Grovemere was second over a longer trip here 10 days ago and can race off the same mark today. MUMBLES PIER came back to form with a second ...

Minella Friend made a winning start to his career in a point at Dromahane last month and has to be of interest. Borussia showed a bit of promise on her debut at Limerick and the benefit was evident when she chased home The Winkler at Killarney. DEFINITE ROW started favourite for her debut between t...

Plenty with claims in this but INTOMIST bids for a hat trick and is unpenalised for his latest win in an apprentices race at Salisbury. He scored on the Polytrack before that and looks to have stronger form than Bold Ring, who has been raised 5lb for her recent victory over track and trip. Wise Ven...

Bumper winner Sandanski has been knocking on the door over hurdles and Patrick Corbett is good value for his 7lb claim. But we'll give another chance to WILLOUGHBY HEDGE, who has been competing in decent novice company and should find this a little easier. I'm The Article can't be ignored as he sho...

THE TWO JAYS appeared to appreciate dropping down to the minimum trip when successful here earlier this month but tonight's conditions will be ideal and a 6lb rise is manageable. Pocketfullapennies was beaten a long way when third at Clonmel and appears to need further but Givemeabuzz looks a real ...

Portmonarch went close at Lingfield last time and has claims along with recent course runner-up Grendisar. Flying Tempo looks high enough in the weights now while Keep Calm and Grayswood have something to prove stepping up in trip. Warrigal may bounce back after a disappointing reappearance at Donc...
