5:10 Curragh

Moyglare ''Jewels'' Blandford Stakes (Group 2)

1m2f · Going: Good · 10 runners · €120,001

Verdict — our pick: Red Letter

Red Letter heads this ten-runner Class 1 contest at the Curragh on a rating narrowly ahead of Thundering On, with the pair clear of the remainder over this ten-furlong trip on good ground, and there is a reasonable case that Red Letter's edge at the top of these rankings translates into a winning performance. Thundering On represents the most pressing danger and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Wemightakedlongway and Shaool, both rated on 112, could make their presence felt if either runs to their best. The confidence here is modest, and this looks a genuinely competitive affair at the top end, but the ratings edge just about tilts the case in favour of Red Letter.

1. Red Letter(3)Form: 3-3236

J: Colin Keane · T: G M Lyons · 4yo · 9st 8lb · OR 110 · trainer 14% (14d)

By Frankel out of Red Impression (Dark Angel) · Owner: Juddmonte

15/2Unibet

Consistent filly who has finished third or better in four of her last five starts, with experience over today's trip and going working in her favour; winless in recent starts but drawn three carrying 134 lb, and a rating of 119 makes her the one to beat.

2. Shaool(1)Form: 1-6676

J: Ben Coen · T: J P Murtagh · 5yo · 9st 8lb · OR 99 · trainer 7% (14d)

By Belardo out of Imtidaad (Lemon Drop Kid) · Owner: Broadfield Group Syndicate

28/1Bet365

Shaool won five starts back and arrives with distance and going experience to call on, carrying 134 lb from stall 1, while our rating of 112 underlines her threat — the concern is that her last four runs have all produced a sixth or seventh.

3. Snapretend(2)Form: -22648

J: Declan McDonogh · T: Joseph Patrick O'Brien · 4yo · 9st 8lb · OR 101 · trainer 10% (14d)

By Make Believe out of Pedisnap (Footstepsinthesand) · Owner: J P Farrell

100/1Bet365

Winless in her last five starts, Snapretend at least showed some ability with a pair of second-place finishes in that spell, though her more recent efforts have been disappointing; she has run over today's trip and going before, and 134 lb from stall two gives her every chance off a mark of 101.

4. Spicy Margarita(10)Form: 584870

J: David Egan · T: Robson De Aguiar · 4yo · 9st 8lb · OR 91 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Earthlight out of Nahoodh (Clodovil) · Owner: Amo Racing Limited Giselle De Aguiar

500/1Bet365

Winless in her last six starts, with unplaced efforts dominating her recent record, Spicy Margarita is hard to fancy from stall 10 carrying 134 lb, though she has run over today's distance and going before and a rating of 98 offers a sliver of encouragement.

5. Wemightakedlongway(8)Form: -73458

J: J M Sheridan · T: Joseph Patrick O'Brien · 4yo · 9st 8lb · OR 107 · trainer 10% (14d)

By Australia out of Dont Ask Me At All (No Nay Never) · Owner: Cayton Park Stud Limited

Winless in her last five starts and stepping back out after 49 days, Wemightakedlongway does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and a rating of 112 makes her a leading threat at the weights — though her recent string of mid-field efforts is the obvious worry.

6. Thundering On(9)Form: 2-2114

J: Ryan Moore · T: Joseph Patrick O'Brien · 3yo · 9st 5lb · OR 117 · trainer 10% (14d)

By Frankel out of Thundering Nights (Night Of Thunder) · Owner: Shapoor Mistry

11/8Unibet

Thundering On boasts back-to-back wins in her recent form and has run over today's trip and going, making her a thoroughly grounded threat off 131 lb from stall nine, though that fourth last time out after a 78-day absence is the one note of caution.

7. Jennifer Jane(6)Form: 27-191

J: Silvestre De Sousa · T: Charlie Johnston · 3yo · 9st 2lb · OR 108 · trainer 12% (14d)

By New Bay out of Enlace (Shamardal) · Owner: Russell Trew Townbraccan

22/1Bet365

Bounced back to winning form most recently, though a ninth two starts back tempers confidence somewhat; Jennifer Jane has experience of today's distance and going, but 56 days off and 128 lb from stall six leave questions to answer.

8. Lilt(5)Form: 1-16

J: Tom Marquand · T: William Haggas · 3yo · 9st 2lb · OR 105 · trainer 28% (14d)

By Lope De Vega out of Dank (Dansili) · Owner: James Wigan

Back-to-back wins two and three starts back give Lilt a solid foundation, but a sixth last time out and 91 days off cloud her claims, and a speed rating of 73 leaves her short of the top-rated rivals at the weights carrying 128 lb.

9. Symbol Of Majesty(7)Form: 1-1521

J: Billy Loughnane · T: John & Thady Gosden · 3yo · 9st 2lb · OR 106 · trainer 28% (14d)

By New Bay out of Sovereign Parade (Galileo) · Owner: Isa Salman Abdulla Al Khalifa

15/2Bet365

Symbol of Majesty arrives on the back of a win last time out and has shown a good recent strike-rate, with three wins in her last five starts, but our rating ranks her ninth of ten here and that gulf in class is hard to overlook despite her sound recent form.

10. Timeforshowcasing(4)Form: 101723

J: Jack Mitchell · T: Charlie Johnston · 3yo · 9st 2lb · OR 113 · trainer 12% (14d)

By Showcasing out of Gloryette (Raven's Pass) · Owner: Mr Jaber Abdullah

10/1Unibet

Ranked eighth of ten on our figures, Timeforshowcasing faces a stiff task off 128 lb, and a seventh three starts back clouds her profile, though she does arrive on the back of back-to-back placed efforts and has shown she can win in recent starts.
