Curragh

Although beaten at short odds last time, SHAKESPEARE still looked green and with Moore staying loyal, he may make it third time lucky. Anchor Road is another who failed to justify favouritism last time, but he was an eyecatcher on his debut here prior to that and is likely capable of more. There are several well-bred types debuting here, including Raging Bull, Loughrea N Roll and Selosse to name just a few, so the market will be a vital guide. [Denis Harney]
