Curragh Race 1 - Army Equitation Centenary Irish European Breeders Fund Mdn
It's very difficult to look beyond HMAS PERTH (4) who missed by a head contesting a valuable maiden at Doncaster (1600m) a fortnight ago. Looks the obvious solution for top connections. Stablemate RAGING BULL (11) was getting the hang of things late when finishing 7L seventh at this course and distance on debut. Half-brother to Precise who is the choice of Ryan Moore. Improvement forthcoming. The Ballydoyle trio is completed by St Mark's Basilica colt MAXIMILIEN LUCE (6). Sure to be well prepared for this opening assignment. GOLDEN IDOL (3) looks next best representing the Henry De Bromhead team first up. May challenge.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 3rd of 8 at Galway on July 27 over 1408m, 7 len behind Trean carrying 57kg at $13. Second-up set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at Doncaster on September 12 over 1609m, head behind Al Jabbar with 60.5kg at $5. Racing well. Tough to beat.

Was at big odds at debut, 8th of 11 at Naas on September 17 over 1408m, 12 len behind Nouveau Grey with 60.5kg at $34. Won't find this any easier so he is likely to struggle again.
