19:20 Curragh — Sky Bet Race To The Ebor Handicap model predictions

Dawn Rising (IRE)

0%

No wins last season but strong form in defeat in big staying handicaps; fourth in the amateur handicap at Galway, fifth in the Irish Cesarewitch and signed off with a fine second in the Cesarewitch; recent run here was over an inadequate trip, more expected of here and seemingly McMonagle's pick.

Holy See (IRE)

0%

Useful AW winner in France over 1m/1m1f; campaigned mainly over hurdles by current yard, winning Limerick novice on heavy over Christmas; fine first effort on the Flat for current yard when winning 1m4f Gowran handicap under today's rider in April (soft) under a positive ride; 5lb higher here but remains of interest.

Perry Mason (GB)

0%

Was recording a third win at this track when scoring over 1m2f last month (good), making virtually all and just holding on; previously ran well over 1m4f, this his first attempt at this longer trip.

Tyson Fury (GB)

0%

Wins have been at up to 2m (AW), winning claimer at Dundalk in March too; runner-up in ordinary maiden hurdles the last twice; can't be ruled out back on the Flat.

Poetic Sound (IRE)

0%

Won twice over 1m4f in 2024 and began last season in form of his life over 1m6f at Navan, touched off in handicap and fine third in Listed contest; last month's 1m4f Leopardstown comeback run was encouraging, could well improve enough from that to play a major role here back at 1m6f.

Too Bossy For Us (IRE)

0%

Useful on the Flat, although sole win came back in 2024, narrowly beaten here over 2m last summer; equally talented hurdler, but some stiff tasks of late; market likely informative back on the Flat.

Granite Bay (GB)

0%

Showed good form in 2024 with a trio of wins from 1m2f-1m6f and runner-up in three of last four starts last term; plenty to take from seasonal return at Gowran in April when fourth to Holy See (1m4f, soft), rallying again late on; one to consider.

Tribal Star (IRE)

0%

Seen mostly on AW, including fourth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m) last June; running well on AW this year and good effort back on turf at Chester last month, only fading late on over 2m3f; upped in grade here and could go well with rider's claim.

Yulia (FR)

0%

Two wins in France (on soft and AW); has won over 1m7f, and had never raced at under 1m4f until recent Irish debut at Sligo; unplaced favourite after starting slowly and meeting trouble in running (1m2f); returns to a more suitable trip.

En Or (FR)

0%

Six-time Flat winner but losing run goes back to December 2024; hurdling last winter without success, may need this comeback run.

Factual Fact (FR)

0%

Bumper winner has done well since returning to the Flat, second here over 1m4f and handled better ground to win 2m1f Killarney amateur handicap last month under a positive ride; 4lb higher but could have more to offer off this low weight upped in grade.
