Concentrating on the high quality card at the Curragh this afternoon, including the Irish Derby. The going is Good to Yielding.

4.40 6f GAIN Railway Stakes (Group 2) (2yo)

Murillo sets the  form standard after his third in Coventry at Royal Ascot.

Verbal Dexterity was noted after impressing on debut on this track over 7f.

Dropping back to 6f is a concern, but he is expected to go close. Current 4/1 looks fair.

5.20 1m4f Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (Group 1) (Entire Colts & Fillies) (3yo)

Wings Of Eagles may be underestimated after what I considered to be an excellent performance when winning the Derby.

He came from a long way back, was hampered on a couple of occasions, yet stayed on to win going away at the finish.

Waldgeist is respected, with the French form being sound.

9/4+ about Wings Of Eagles is fair.
