The ground at the Curragh remains heavy (no overnight rain).

Horses for money so far for the first turf flat racing of the year in Ireland include Birds Eye View in the 3.00. Pencil Hill is a non-runner in that contest now. Yellow Rosebud is a strong odds-on chance in the 3.30. Einsteins Folly and Smoker are the 'lively ones' for the 4.00.

In the featured Irish Lincoln meanwhile, Inis Meain Sweet Lightning and Custom Cut have all attracted interest.
