Racing Post verdict
Third-partyGo Athletico heads this 15-runner sprint at the Curragh on good-to-firm ground, narrowly ahead of the chasing pack on ratings but with enough of an edge over Nazario, Gerrit's Gem and Jon Riggens to make a compelling case. The main threat comes from Nazario, five points adrift, while Gerrit's Gem and Jon Riggens are closely matched just behind and could complicate matters if Go Athletico fails to reproduce best form. Confidence is medium rather than high, so the selection will need to run to its ceiling to hold off those dangers over the six furlongs. Go Athletico is the selection.
