Curragh 2:00 Result

Killashee Warrior carries the highest OR (91) in the field with clear weight-for-rating advantage over this Curragh 7f trip. Form figures 1-4783 show she won last time out at a much higher level relatively speaking and has been running consistently against similar or tougher rated fields; a 14-day turnaround suggests she's fit and fresh off a recent effort rather than a big layoff. Chris Hayes is a strong booking for connections and Eddie & Patrick Harty clearly think enough of her to keep her progressing in these rated events. The Saxon Warrior / Dark Angel pedigree suggests she has the class and stamina profile for 7f on a sound surface, and Good to Yielding shouldn't be an issue. Main dangers: Invincible Will has a slick recent figure string (281825) and looks in good form with a hood fitted, while Mumhan is dropping back in class/trip after a below-par run but has solid recent placed efforts. Lewis Carroll is interesting as an Aidan O'Brien colt but his solitary run over course and distance (9-1 figures) with a 182-day layoff makes him hard to trust fresh with only two career starts and unproven depth of form. Given Killashee Warrior's rating edge, fitness, and proven achievement at a competitive level recently, she looks the most solid class actor in this field and should go well without being primed to be hugely overbet given a fairly workmanlike recent finish (4783). No standout bigger-priced value place horse jumps out strongly enough given the closely-matched middle of the field, so I'm leaving the each-way selection empty.
