Forecasts

Gavoo (9/4), Extravagant (3/1), Bobby Mcgee (11/2), Parkside Lad (6/1), Stop The Nation (15/2), Nakamura (10/1), Award Ceremony (18/1), Which Wolf Wins (33/1)

16:50 Curragh - 19 July 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

An interesting nursery in which EXTRAVAGANT is fancied to build on earlier promise when looking a work in progress and get off the mark. Gavoo looks to start out in handicaps on a decent mark so rates the main danger to Aidan O'Brien's son of Wootton Bassett with Bobby McGee, Nakamura and Stop The Nation all well in the mix too.
