Market movers: Hamley halved in price to 7-1 for competitive Curragh handicap
So Perfect 11-1 (from 18-1)
2.25 Curragh
This daughter of Scat Daddy ran a cracking race when third behind the brilliant Battaash at York last month but was below par when down the field in the Sprint Cup last time.
Reverting to 5f and a return to better ground may enable the three-year-old to return to her best and, given the yard's outstanding form, it would not be a massive surprise to see her run well.
Last Opportunity 6-4 (from 2-1)
5.25 Curragh
Last Opportunity was an easy winner on his debut at Leopardstown last month and, based on that evidence, could well be tough to beat here.
Bought for €40,000 at Tattersalls Ireland Yearling Sales, the son of Dandy Man is on course to repay connections' faith in full and, under the in-form Colin Keane, looks set to make it two out of two.
Hamley 7-1 (from 14-1)
6.00 Curragh
Peter Fahey's mare won this 1m2f handicap last year but has yet to really sparkle this term, having finished down the field in a very competitive Galway handicap last time.
She beat the reopposing Tudor City 12 months ago by a convincing two and a quarter lengths, form which looks more than respectable, but needs to improve on this term's form to make an impact this time around.
