Solid readSolana Beach is our pick, with Trek Home the main danger.
No confirmed front-runner — likely a muddling, tactical gallop, where a handy early pitch and tactical speed matter. On recent form Solana Beach sets the standard (RPR 93). Note Solana Beach for an in-form yard.
How it played out: Suspicious Mindz won.
The key questions
How will the race be run?
No confirmed front-runner — likely a muddling, tactical gallop, where a handy early pitch and tactical speed matter.
Does the draw matter?
Low draws are favoured over sprint at Curragh (impact value 1.38, beating 48% of rivals on average).
Any unexposed improver?
Solana Beach is lightly-raced with a profile to progress — the type to respect on potential.
Who's the main danger?
Trek Home is the chief threat to Solana Beach.

What the data likes (our composite read — not tips)
Going the right way — the form figures are on the climb. Met trouble in running last time, so he's better than that result looks; the stable is in good heart at the track.
