Review curragh 22nd Sep

< Khukri did everything that was expected of him in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden at the Curragh.

Second to Intelligence Cross on debut before again making the frame back here, it wasn't surprising that Jessie Harrington's colt was a warm order and Colm O'Donoghue always had him in a prominent position.

With the rail to race against, Khukri quickened into a clear lead two furlongs from home and although Spanish Tenor gave chase valiantly, the 5-4 favourite never looked like being caught and obliged by half a length.

Harrington and O'Donoghue appeared all set to follow up when Best Destination hit the front inside the final furlong of the Order Of Malta Handicap (Div 1), but she was nailed on the line by 5-1 joint-favourite Bulgadin Lady

The second instalment was turned into a procession by 9-4 favourite Papal Parade who kept up her excellent recent form and trounced Against The Breeze by six lengths.

Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien teamed up to take the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden with Art Nouvelle

The daughter of Art Connoisseur was fourth on her introduction at Navan and confirmed that promise by inflicting a length-and-a-half defeat on Stormy Belle as the 7-2 favourite.

Aidan O'Brien got in on the family act when Hibiscus (5-1) came good in the Irish Blue Cross Fillies Maiden.

The impeccably-bred daughter of Galileo had been costly to follow but showed what she is capable of by beating Green Or Black by a length and a half.< Palavicini Run was backed as if defeat was out of the question in the Jockeys Emergency Fund Handicap and did the business as the 5-4 favourite.< Feeling Easy (9-1) landed the Irish Injured Jockeys Fund Handicap, while Doonard Prince (8-1) showed his appreciation for the drop to six furlongs by taking the Racing Academy & Irish School Of Farriery Handicap.
