Now a Group 1 winner and the standout colt in Ireland’s classic mile division, Field Of Gold (IRE) has firmly arrived on the big stage. After a convincing win in the Irish 2,000 Guineas — backing up a close second in the Newmarket equivalent — expectations have shifted from potential to proven, and there’s plenty…

Far From Dandy (IRE) made a quietly encouraging start for the Stephen Thorne yard in the €30,000 3yo handicap over 7f at the Curragh on 24th May, finishing a close-up fourth off a mark of 80 in what looked a competitive renewal.

Pace & Tactical Angle A strong pace is forecast, with front-runners like Murkala, Calrissiana and Fiona Maccoul likely to force the issue early. This should suit hold-up runners – particularly Shiota, Lady Lilac, and La Guapisima, who have all been seen to best effect off a strong gallop. Track Bias Note: Over this mile trip…

Hold-up horses such as Simple Star and Hourless could be disadvantaged unless the race unexpectedly turns into a…

Uttoxeter’s sharp nature tends to suit strong travellers and handy types, particularly on drying ground. Horses that race off the pace can be at a disadvantage if the gallop isn’t…

Pace & Draw Angles The pace profile looks even, with several pressing types but no confirmed tearaway leader. Duty First and Swelter could be ridden prominently, while Flight, Lake Victoria and Simmering are likely to be played late. There’s no major draw bias on the straight mile at the Curragh. — Strongest Contenders Lake Victoria…

Pace & Draw Angles This long-distance Group 1 rarely features a furious tempo early, but 2025’s renewal suggests a strong pace with several front-runners or prominent racers: Presage Nocturne, Sevenna’s Knight, and Dubai Future could press on. In a staying test on soft ground at Longchamp, those who conserve energy and stay well are typically…

A strong pace is forecast, which could impact runners who need settling (Royal Rhyme, Ghostwriter), while likely playing into the hands of hold-up finishers with a turn of foot like White Birch. Over this extended 10f trip at the Curragh, races tend to favour strong stayers, and tactical awareness will be crucial given the depth…
