All you need to know as frantic Friday builds up to a top Curragh card

The Curragh hosts the best of the action on a frantic Friday that features eight meetings in Britain and Ireland.

The Group 3 TRM-sponsored Ballyogan Stakes (7.10) has attracted 12 runners, including the British-trained Dan's Dream and Queen Jo Jo, while Willie Mullins saddles Riven Light in the Listed TRI Equestrian Silver Stakes (7.40).
