Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Titanium looks the one to be on in this 24-runner eight-furlong contest at the Curragh, topping our figures on 85, five pounds ahead of the next best, though that is no guarantee in a field this big. Vlhova on 80 is the chief danger, with Zipster (79) and Templenoe (77) also holding live claims if they handle the good to soft ground. A big field always brings traffic trouble and the confidence here is only low, but Titanium has the best figure and the most scope to prove superior. Titanium is our selection.

Titanium bounces back from a fifth last time out just 16 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before, so conditions hold no surprises. Our rating of 85 tops the field, though he is yet to win in his last six starts.

No More Porter is yet to win in his last six starts, finishing fifth last time out, a seventh two starts back, and a fifth three starts back, but he's back quickly after five days and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 76 ranks him sixth of 24, though 139 lb from stall 17 leaves little margin.

Chipsrdown won two starts back and three starts back, and has run over today's trip and going, but she was unplaced last time out and 136 lb is a hefty burden. Our rating of 68 ranks her 13th of 24, so she looks a midfield sort from stall 12.

Quick back-up after nine days, she was sixth last time out and has been beaten since a win four starts back, though that victory shows she can get it right. Carrying 135 lb from draw 18, she's rated 64 by us against an official 65, so little in hand.
