An interesting handicap for the stayers which forms part of an ever competitive Curragh Saturday card. Micras is a mare in form, but she proved no match for the decisive scorer Whiteout over C&D just under a fortnight ago. Bayan is a classy dual purpose performer and it's pleasing to see him belatedly back in action for Gordon Elliott, but he's likely to need this race whilst similar comments apply to the Charles Byrne debutant Wonder Laish. Therefore, the horse which ticks all of the boxes is TIGRIS RIVER. He thrived over hurdles in 2015 and has kept good company in competitive handicap hurdles since. He'll be sharper for a recent outing over timber and is very lightly raced on the Flat, and there's every likelihood that Joseph O'Brien can exploit an incredibly fair looking mark of 83.
- Tigris River
- Shadagann
