5/2
No Nay Never colt who maintained 100% record when landing listed First Flier stakes (5f) here 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead post. Step up in trip a plus and he rates a player with prospect of more to come.

£200,000 2-y-o, Mehmas colt. 13/2, second of 4 in minor event at Naas (5f, good to firm) on debut 6 days ago. Entitled to do better but this understandably tougher.

1/1
Promising individual. Won 13-runner maiden at this C&D (good to soft, 5/2) on debut 41 days ago, knuckling down well to get on top dying strides. That form is proving strong and he's well worth his place at this higher level. Tongue tie goes on.

No Nay Never filly. 13/8, won 9-runner maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) on debut 26 days ago, responding well. Yard having good spell. Should progress.

14:10 Curragh - 21 May 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

TOUGH TALK looked above average and showed a good attitude to make a winning debut in a C&D maiden in April (strong form) and he's fancied to cope with the rise in class and make a bold bid to follow up now tongue tied. Blackbeard has impressed in landing back-to-back 5f events and is a big player with 6f expected to suit. Deneuve may emerge best of the others.
