The Curragh, Where Champions Are Made, Handicap
AI Selections & Analysis (12 runners)
Zakouma boasts the best recent form with two consecutive wins and a strong career Win% of 27%. Despite a wide barrier, the presence of William Pike and a progressive profile make this horse a top pick.
This horse has been in excellent form recently, including three wins in a row earlier this preparation. While the last start was a 5th, the overall consistency and good barrier draw keep it a strong contender.
Alder has solid career statistics with a good Place% and is coming off a 4th, suggesting fitness. The inside barrier and Jamie Mott are positives, making it a genuine chance if it can return to its best form.
Make It Sweet has a very impressive Place% of 63% and has been consistent with recent placings. While the wide barrier is a concern, Luke Nolen's booking could help overcome that hurdle, making it a strong each-way prospect.
Jareth comes into this race with a last-start win and a promising career Win% from limited starts. However, the wide barrier and a less experienced jockey present some risk, placing it as an each-way chance.
Wuddzz has a good career record with 7 wins and a high Place%, but the last start was a poor 10th. If it can bounce back to its earlier form this preparation, it could be competitive for a place.
Pantile Warrior has a very high Place% but only one career win, indicating it struggles to finish races off. Craig Williams is a positive, but it's more of a place hope than a winning chance in this field.
Ziryab has a decent career Win% but recent form is patchy with a last start 7th. While it has won more races than some, the inconsistency makes it a roughie here.
This horse has a low career Win% and inconsistent recent form, despite a last start 3rd. It would need significant improvement to challenge the top contenders in this field.
Jimi Hendrix has a poor recent form string with many unplaced runs and a very low career Place% for its starts. Despite high prizemoney, current form suggests it's a rank outsider.
Politely Dun has a low career Win% and has shown very little recent form to suggest it can win this race. The wide barrier further diminishes its chances.
Double Cherry's recent form is very poor with multiple unplaced runs and a last start 10th. Its career Win% and Place% are also low, making it the least likely contender.
