A Great weekend of racing at the Curragh has given us some valuable clues for the English Derby and Oaks that are just a few weeks away.
The most impressive winner of the weekend was Canford Cliffs in the Irish 2000 Guineas, as predicted here last week.
He will now head to Royal Ascot and go for the St James Palace Stakes where he will lock horns with English 2000 Guineas winner, the unbeaten Makfi. We expect the Richard Hannon horse to exact revenge for that Newmarket defeat and Sean Grahams have installed the Irish Guineas winner as their favourite.
The Derby betting took a bit of a shake-up after Aidan O’Brien’s Jan Vermeer absolutely skated home on his seasonal debut at the Curragh to leave the Ballydoyle trainer mob-handed for the Derby.
Guineas flop St Nicholas Abbey leads the betting at 2/1 but Jan Vermeer was cut from 14s in to 7s by Sean Grahams after the weekend. O’Brien also has easy York winner Cape Blanco in the race and it will be interesting to see what horse Johnny Murtagh climbs aboard come June 5th.
Fame and Glory looked back to his best when sluicing up in the Group One Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on Sunday, winning by seven lengths, and next stop for the O’Brien superstar is the Coronation Stakes where he could take on the mighty Sariska – Sean Grahams price both at 9/4 for the race.
Jim Bolger’s Gile Na Greine has been pushed out to 20/1 for Oaks glory after a poor run in the Irish 1000 Guineas, with Rumoush still leading the market at 5/1.
Tonight (Thursday) at Sandown we have the Group 3 Blue Square Brigadier Gerard Stakes and we are taking the Michael Jarvis-trained SRI PUTRA to follow up on his seasonal debut win at Newmarket and we are banking on him to get the better of favourite Glass Harmonium.

We have the League One and Two Play-Off finals at Wembley this weekend and both games look hard to call as try and get a few quid in the coffers for our assault on the World Cup.
Millwall face Swindon who ousted Charlton on penalties in the League One final on Saturday and on Sunday we have Rotherham taking on easy semi-final winners Dagenham & Redbridge.
So after studying both finals we have come with a 11/2 double and taking Millwall and Rotherham to win at the weekend.
Tight games in both though and 2-1 scorelines both stick out at around 9/1 and we think 2 singles and a double in the correct score bet.
We are siding with in-form punter Martin Miller and taking Steve Morison and Adam Le Fondre for first goals at the weekend again we think 2 singles and a double in this particular bet.
Don’t forget those scorecasts - you never know.
