Rory Delargy’s Saturday Curragh Tips

13:40 – City Of Troy
14:15 – Matrika
14:50 – Midnight Fire
15:25 – Via Sistina
16:00 – Al Riffa
16:35 – Pachmena
17:10 – Space Age
17:40 – Immelman

Curragh 13:40 – City Of Troy

City Of Troy holds entries in the Phoenix and National Stakes, and this brother to recent London Gold Cup winner Bertinelli should go very close on debut.

Curragh 14:15 – Matrika

Matrika was an excellent second of 17 to Porta Fortuna in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot last week and will be very hard to stop in her bid to go one better.

Curragh 14:50 – Midnight Fire

Midnight Fire is a reliable sort, his only below-par run this term when having the worst of the draw here in May, and he can reward each-way support from a much better berth now.

Curragh 15:25 – Via Sistina

The strong-travelling Via Sistina bolted up in the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on her return and can make the breakthrough at Group 1 level with Jamie Spencer riding on a high.

Curragh 16:00 – Al Riffa

Al Riffa has raced only at 7f, but the National Stakes winner is bred to relish this longer trip, and should prove too strong for some smart rivals on his belated return.

Curragh 16:35 – Pachmena

Julie Burke has ridden with great success in three countries and is an eye-catching booking for Gavin Cromwell’s Pachmena, an unlucky loser at Ballinrobe last week.

Curragh 17:10 – Space Age

Space Age caught the eye when beaten a neck on his return here in May and can go one better with an extra furlong firmly in his favour.

Curragh 17:40 – Immelman

An absence of over 600 days is no concern for Immelman, who makes his debut for Willie Mullins and despite a 600-day absence, a mark of 78 looks lenient.
