15:55 Curragh - 24 September 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The handicapper has given a real chance to STRONG JOHNSON as he finds himself 6 lb lower than when runner-up in this race 12 months ago despite posting at least respectable efforts on all 3 outings this year. Curraheen Princess hasn't finished out of the first 2 in her last 6 starts and is a must for the shortlist. Gordon Bennett has a few good efforts to his name in big fields here and also merits consideration along with Iva Batt.
