Find your spirit at Curragh with Tauran Shaman

WITH the big Newbury and Ayr cards (Scottish National) moved to Sunday, this afternoon’s action lacks plenty of strength on depth.

However, whatever the grade of race there has to be a winner and arguably the best value wager of the day could come on The Curragh card in Ireland which harbours the biggest and most competitive fields of the weekend.

At first glance the 22-runner handicap due off at 4.15 looks impossible to solve with at least eight of the entries well handicapped on their best form and five coming into the race off more than fair last-time-out runs.
