UAE Derby hero Lines Of Battle Irish 2,000 Guineas third Trading Leather and the promising Zand all clash in a mouth-watering renewal of the TRM Silver Stakes at the Curragh this afternoon.

Lines Of Battle subsequently didn’t enjoy the clearest of passages when tackling the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, while Trading Leather returns to the ten-furlong trip over which he previously ran a cracker when runner-up to Libertarian in the Betfred Dante Stakes at York.

Zand has always been held in high regard by the John Oxx team, and the Leopardstown maiden winner makes a belated seasonal debut here having been held up by a foot problem.

The Listed event is the highlight on a seven race card which gets underway at 2.20pm, and the going remains good to firm following watering.

Meanwhile the going is good to firm (firm in places) at Roscommon ahead of a two-day meeting there on Monday and Tuesday.
