Curragh Race 2 - Irish European Breeders Fund Median Sires Series Mdn
THE PIPEMAN (1) may go one better after an excellent second on debut when only beaten 2.25L in a 1200m Navan maiden first time out. Brings top form from that run and is likely to improve for it. Top contender and the one to beat. COINCIDENZA (10) is a fascinating debutant with Oisin Murphy booked. Represents Donnacha O'Brien and by Ten Sovereigns deserves respect. HEART OF YOU (12) should step forward from having debuted 6.75L fifth over 1400m at Galway last month. Popular that day so deserves a market check. WILLIAMSBURG (6) makes each-way appeal after a 5L seventh debuting in a 1400m Leopardstown maiden.
