Irish Stallion Farms EBF Nursery Handicap (Birdcatcher Series)

Curragh · 13:35 · Sunday, 16 August 2026 · 6f · Good

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to see a moderate-to-fast tempo with Mr Montauk’s midfield presence and consistent RPR of 75 suggesting he could hold the early pace, though his recent struggles in staying on under pressure at Sligo and Down Royal cast doubt on his ability to maintain it over six furlongs. I Ready stands out as the most compelling performer, having recently finished strongly in a C&D nursery at the Curragh with a 75 RPR and a clean run under blinkers, and despite a narrow fourth in Galway, his form and recent improvement in class and conditions make him a hard-to-oppose contender. The main danger comes from Shesthedevil, who won at Navan on a strong day and has shown resilience in tough ground, while Away And Gone, a first-time starter with a solid RPR of 76 and a recent fourth at Navan, offers a value each-way appeal despite a poor debut.
