Curragh runners today. Dance With Another (Danehill Dancer x Quarter Moon) Form: 43 Aidan OBrien / Joseph OBrien 1.45 - EBF Fillies Maiden - 1m Daughter of Moyglare Stud Stakes winner and triple Classic-placed Quarter Moon whose two maiden runs have been over 7f, stepping up markedly on debut when staying-on third to Tested here last month; should relish this step up in trip and a leading contender. Sparrow (Oasis Dream x All Too Beautiful) Form: 02 Aidan OBrien / Joseph OBrien 2.15 - EBF Fillies Maiden - 6f Half-sister to the stables Oaks runner-up Wonder Of Wonders who took a big step forward from first to second start; was in front entering the final furlong over 7f last time and was only denied in the closing stages by useful recruit; well-drawn and looks poised to mount a major challenge. Adelaide (Galileo x Elletelle) Form: unraced Aidan OBrien / Michael Hussey 3.15 - EBF Maiden - 7f Galileo colt and first foal of Queen Mary winner Elletelle so lacks nothing in terms of pedigree but appears the least-fancied of the Ballydoyle trio on riding arrangements. Table Rock (Fastnet Rock x Small Sacrifice) Form: unraced Aidan OBrien / Seamie Heffernan 3.15 - EBF Maiden - 7f From first European crop of Fastnet Rock and out of an unraced sister to 10f winner Out Of Thanks; seemingly stable second-string but well worth a look. Tigris River (Montjeu x Hula Angel) Form: unraced Aidan OBrien / Joseph OBrien 3.15 - EBF Maiden - 7f Son of Montjeu and Irish 1000 Guineas winner Hula Angel (also 7f Group 2 winner at 2) who had bred three winners including very useful 7f performer Schevchenko; yard took this last year and looks a likely market leader here. A Star Is Born (Galileo x Looking Back) Form: 0-56332 Aidan OBrien / Joseph OBrien 4.45 - EBF Fillies Maiden - 1m4f Ordinary enough maiden but has shown improvement for step up in trip of late, placed over C & D before finding Teocht too resolute at Tipperary; blinkers replace cheekpieces here in search for that elusive winning bracket. Shield (Dylan Thomas x American Queen) Form: 0 Aidan OBrien / Joseph OBrien 5.15 - C&G Maiden - 1m4f Won Leopardstown bumper in March (yielding) before struggling in the big one at Cheltenham and found to be clinically abnormal when tailed off favourite in Ballinrobe flat maiden in August; latest effort probably best ignored, major chance on best bumperform here.
