Curragh Race 2 - Nua Clad Hub Irish European Breeders Fund Maiden
MONMOUTH (11) makes clear appeal on debut for the Ballymore team. Out of a full-sister to Gustav Klimt. Might have the measure of them to take this first up. CONTRARY TO LAW (6) improved on first to second start racing last year. Drops to 1200m and addition of a hood wouldn't look a bad idea on evidence to date. May take a step forward. FATE'S GAMBIT (8) indicated ability amidst greenness on the debut effort at Dundalk over 1400m. Failed to really back that up next time. Still might make the frame. DREOILIN (14) is worth mentioning representing last year's winning stable and another who could be suited by the lesser distance.
