17:20 Curragh — Race Preview & Tips

For the 17:20 at the Curragh, all signs point to a dominant performance from **Down The Glen**. Ross O'Sullivan's charge looks incredibly well-placed here and is strongly fancied to follow up his recent victory, a key trend we absolutely love to see in a progressive horse. This three-year-old showed real tenacity to get his head in front last time out, and with that crucial win under his belt, the confidence will be sky-high.

His form figures reflect a horse who has taken time to mature but is now hitting his stride at precisely the right moment. D. W. O'Connor is in the plate again, and they clearly struck up a good understanding last time. The handicapper hasn't been overly harsh, leaving plenty of scope for further improvement in this grade. He ticks all the boxes for a horse ready to climb the ranks, boasting both recent success and the untapped potential of a young animal with more to offer. Expect him to be sharp from the stalls and hard to peg back.

For those looking for an each-way flutter, **Boston Benjamin** has shown enough to suggest he could sneak into the frame at a decent price, offering a bit of value behind our strong favourite.
