Curragh Race 7 - James Nolan Bar Kildare Nursery Hcp

LARS SOLDIER (1) can make a winning start in handicaps. Scored a 1000m maiden by a nose here in April. Tested at G3 level and then third over 1200m at Fairyhouse since. Brings top form. Respect. TRADEWINDS (2) produced three placed efforts in a row. Switches to a nursery while first-time cheekpieces are also added. Could progress from a 4.75L third in a 1000m Bellewstown maiden. SEVEN NATION ARMY (5) has been gelded since a 6.5L sixth attempting a 1200m Cork maiden. One to watch. DESERT ALCHEMIST (3) is a player if returning to form of a debut 2.75L third trying 1200m in a Cork maiden. Two moderate efforts since. Remains a contender.

Second run back. First-up after three months ran last of 10 at Naas in the LR TIPPERARY STAKES on July 4 over 1005m, 11 len behind Carry The Flag with 57kg at $51. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Dundalk All Weather on April 10 over 1005m, 1.75 len behind New Yorker with 58kg at $6.50. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.
