Kalir (IRE) won the 17:10 Curragh at SP 7.00. Ridden by Chris Hayes. Trained by D K Weld.
No — the AI top pick (Marmeladova) finished 10.
Top finishers: 1. Kalir (IRE) (7.00), 2. Final Voyage (IRE) (34.00), 3. No More Porter (IRE) (6.50).
The winning time was 1m 36.70s.
Final Voyage heads this 12-runner Curragh mile on good-to-firm ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Playin Cool and Booyea, who are both rated 6 lb behind. Howyoulikethat represents the next threat at 8 lb adrift and cannot be dismissed on a sound surface, while Playin Cool and Booyea will need to find improvement to bridge the gap. Confidence is modest, and the selection may be vulnerable if the main dangers run to their best, but on current form Final Voyage holds the clearest claims. **Final Voyage** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Final Voyage
