Tip for this race
All today's tips ›One Look No. 5, stall 3
James Doyle · P Twomey
✓ Top rated ✓ Course & distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (2/7, 14 days)
One Look is our selection, leading these Curragh figures on merit at ten furlongs and rated 6 lb up on Nyra with Francophone and Moody further back. Nyra, Francophone and Moody all pose danger, with Moody the sharpest of that trio on recent form, but none matches the top rating. Confidence is high that she proves best on the day.
Result
W J Lee
P Twomey
led throughout from the front - a length and a half up at halfway - driven 2f out and given a squeeze over 1f out - stayed on strongly to open up a big margin in the final 100 yards for an easy win
Ryan Moore
William Haggas
restrained handy down the inside - 5th at halfway - driven into 4th 2f out without getting on terms - up to 3rd early in the final furlong - stayed on to move into 2nd late on but never troubled the winner
Dylan Browne McMonagle
Joseph Patrick O'Brien
sat behind the pacesetter - driven entering the straight and again 2f out - unable to get on terms when drifting right over 1f out - held that gait to finish 3rd late on
Oisin Murphy
Charlie Johnston
restrained handy early - 6th at halfway - driven early in the straight - unable to get on terms when given a squeeze over 1f out and stayed on one gait
Billy Loughnane
Ed Walker
restrained towards the back - 7th at halfway - driven wide entering the straight - up to 5th 2f out - under continued pressure without getting on terms over 1f out and stayed on one gait
James Doyle
P Twomey
sat behind the front pack down the inside - pulling hard - 3rd at halfway - driven early in the straight - under continued pressure without getting on terms 2f out and had nothing more inside the final furlong
Ben Coen
J P Murtagh
at the back throughout and not once competitive despite pulling hard - driven into 7th 2f out - soon under continued pressure with nothing more
Donagh O'Connor
Robson De Aguiar
sat behind the front pack - 4th at halfway - driven entering the straight before soon coming under pressure and fading
Racecard
Billy Loughnane
Ed Walker 7/35
Three wins in her last five starts show ability, though fourth last time was more workmanlike. Has raced over today's trip and going before, and a 22-day break keeps her fresh — capable of a bold showing without quite matching the leading pair here.

Oisin Murphy
Charlie Johnston 7/69
A mare with a win four starts back and rated third of eight on our figures, backed by a strong speed figure. Already has today's trip and going under her belt, though back-to-back unplaced efforts in her last two starts are the obvious concern.

W J Lee
P Twomey 2/7
Really progressive filly, winner of her last three starts for a near-perfect recent record. A 74-day absence since that latest success is the obvious concern fitness-wise, but the underlying form makes her a serious threat regardless.

Dylan Browne McMonagle
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 21/59
Ultra-consistent filly, placed in four of her last five starts and runner-up again last time out. Rated second of eight here, but remains without a win in that sequence and needs to find more to break through.

James Doyle
P Twomey 2/7
Top-rated on our figures with a strong speed figure to match, this mare was runner-up last time out and also five starts back. She already has today's trip and going under her belt - the one knock is she's yet to get her head in front recently.

Ryan Moore
William Haggas 7/48
Rhapsody won three starts back and has since finished third and fourth, a gentle fade from that peak. Already has today's trip and going under her belt, and a moderate speed figure fits a midfield finish rather than a leading role.

Donagh O'Connor
Robson De Aguiar 0/12
Spicy Margarita has missed the frame in each of her last five starts and sits second-bottom of our rankings. She has run over today's trip before and a quick 20-day turnaround keeps her fresh, but she remains without a win and hard to trust on this evidence.

Ben Coen
J P Murtagh 2/22
Subsonic sits bottom of our rankings and was well beaten last time out, though a win three starts back shows latent ability. She has run over today's trip before, but a modest speed figure leaves plenty to find here.
