Presumably Delegator is going to be short enough for this? The ground is going to be a hell of a lot different to what he encountered in the English Guineas. It's been pishing rain locally for the past few days. The round course is currently soft and the straight course is heavy according to HRI.

Delegator gets gunned down inside the final furlong, that hill at the curragh is bloody steep.

Wallace, just caught yours, well put, except Mastercraftsman is to
the Curragh, what i am to Ante-Post betting! Come on Master took the 3/1
its redemption time! Delegator will be running on empty inside the last 50yds if the ground turns soft, whilst the Master will be powering up the hill
just watch the Master inside the last 100yds at Newmarket, he was just getting going!

Geez, Man Mountain and i dare suggest Mastercraftsman will hold on to your fast finishing Rayeni up that hill!

Mastercraftsman for me.

Loves the Curragh, stayed on reasonably well at Newmarket when seemingly needing the run. He'll prefer the softer ground at the Curragh on Saturday too.

Mastercraftsman could win this with considerable ease IMO

Delegator should win, but at The Curragh, I woud be worried about Ballydoyle tactics.

Apologies Wallace, didn't see your thread there. Think we actually posted at the same time. I'm sure the mods have some way of merging them. Corm?

BTW, you're spot on with there only being one David Wallace! Can't wait to see him let loose on the Springboks. Best ball carrier in Europe.

Going back to Saturday's race, you're going to really need to get every yard of the mile. Might give Malibu Bay another chance if Aidan runs him. I'd say it'll be similar conditions on Saturday to what he encountered at Navan last back end.

Does Richard Hannon often send horses over to Ireland? I'm just curious about Soul City.

Not too often Moe and he won at the Curragh last year with a little in hand. I just doubt he gets a mile that well.
