16:50 Curragh - 27 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

CEALLACH was firmly on the up when last seen out at Dundalk in December and is fancied to return in style after his break and complete a hat-trick. Fellow hat-trick seeker Brave Troop is feared most, with C&D scorer Wild Dollar another who can have a big say in an open handicap.
