Curragh Race 1 - John Ormonde Wexford Sand Irish European Breeders Fund (C & G) Maiden
HAWK MOUNTAIN (3) kept on well after a slow start for fifth on Curragh debut earlier in the month. Key player up in trip for a formidable trainer and jockey combination. PERISHER (5) was a close runner-up on racecourse bow over the journey at Galway and may go one better second-up. PORT OF SPAIN (6) finished sixth behind stablemate HAWK MOUNTAIN at Curragh. Progress expected. STAR CHAMBER (7) hardly set the world alight on Leopardstown debut but remains with potential having been gelded since that encounter,.

Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, 12th of 15 at this track on July 19 over 1408m, 8 len behind New Zealand carrying 59.5kg at $51. Second-up 5th of 9 at Leopardstown on August 7 over 1609m, 9 len behind Montreal carrying 59.5kg at $29. Hard to make a case on recent form.
