Review curragh 22nd Aug

Aidan O'Brien is responsible for three of the eight runners as he bids for his 10th victory in the Breast Cancer Research Debutante Stakes at the Curragh.

The primary Ballydoyle hope could be C & D winner Alice Springs who is disputing favouritism for next year's Oaks despite going under to exciting prospect Tanaza in the Silver Flash Stakes.

O'Brien is also represented by Minding and Ballydoyle, with the opposition headed by the David Wachman-trained Group Three winner Most Beautiful although she only had a length to spare over the reopposing Miss Elizabeth

Jim Bolger's duo Turret Rocks and Leafy Shade as well as Only Mine complete the field.< Gordon Lord Byron is the headline act in the Gerrardstown House Stud Supporting Breast Cancer Research Renaissance Stakes.

Ton Hogan's high-class globetrotter has been at the top of his game this summer and was an excellent third to champion sprinter-elect Muhaarar in France a couple of weeks ago.

Like the Renaissance, the Curragh Stakes carries Group Three status and sees Promised Money and Independence Day lock horns again after fighting out the finish to a Tipperary Listed contest.

The action gets under way at 2.25 with the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, in which the well-touted Coolmore - a full-sister to Classic winners Gleneagles and Marvellous - gets her first taste of competitive action.

As a half-brother to the yard's former Group One winner Miss Beatrix, Mizaah is also nicely bred and Kevin Prendergast starts the 140,000-euro purchase off in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Law Major made the best possible beginning to his career at Leopardstown in June and Jim Bolger pitches him into handicap company off a mark of 87 in the Irish Times Handicap.< Placere is two from two when partnered by a female jockey so is a big player in the Longines World Fegentri Championship For Lady Riders Handicap.
