Curragh

Sunday, March 16, 2025Flat6f

An expensive purchase, MATHAN has shown plenty on the track having only been bettered by a useful-looking rival when runner-up on his second start, and he is taken to make a winning return. Alfred Tennyson has already shown a fair level of ability and may improve as a 3-y-o, as might Passing Phase following a gelding operation, while Chester Nimitz could be a different proposition returned to the turf.

    Verdict
    Finished last season with his best effort to date in 4 starts, finishing creditable third of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (6.5f, good), although didn't look the most straightforward under pressure (wore sheepskin noseband). Nevertheless, much respected on return for this trainer/jockey combination.

    Verdict
    Speedily-bred son of Greogorian improved on debut form when third of 21 in maiden at this C&D (good to soft), deserving of extra credit for faring best of those who raced against the far rail. Could well be more progress to come.

    Verdict
    Profitable colt shaped with promise when second on debut at Navan (5.8f) last October, only bettered by a fairly useful sort. Bit disappointing that he didn't build on that effort when switched to the AW, third of 12 at Dundalk (6f) later that month, but remains of interest returning to the turf.

    Half-brother to a smart 6f winner and posted an encouraging effort over that distance on second start at the Curragh, clearly having learned from his debut experience. Since gelded and there could well be more to come.

    Far Above gelding was too green to do himself justice in a claiming race on debut but he'll need to take his form to another level to cope with this marked step up in class.

    Failed to improve for his debut run when fourth of 8 in maiden (50/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft). Is bred more for stamina than speed so this drop in distance isn't guaranteed to suit.
