Curragh Race 7

Feel The Rush With 1XBet.ie Easter Irish European Breeders Fund Maiden

Prize Money: $55,350

Aidan O'Brien appears to have a strong hand with three in this maiden while Ryan Moore has chosen PENDULUM (6) who wears blinkers on debut. Nicely bred as you'd expect from these connections and rates a likely chance. Stablemate CANARY ISLAND (3) is a half-brother to the high-class Epsom Derby winner Auguste Rodin. Fantastic pedigree and no surprise if he is good enough to score on debut. ATOMIC CITY (1) produced a fair effort when third debuting here over 1600m in November. Improvement likely and is one to consider. CHAMONIX (4) adopts the tongue strap for this initial outing and there is plenty to like on paper. Market check advised.
