And we can probably expect the same for Leopardstown on Sunday. It looks like being a wet weekend and the ground may even get that Irish tag of "bottomless" so on the presumption that things do go ahead here's the run down on the 4 G3s.
The first of the G3s is at the Curragh on Saturday – the Alleged Stakes over 2000m. White Birch has been doing very well for Twomey-Lee and is on top here at 11/4. Not much difference in the following runners so we have selected Lafayette 4/1 Meade-Keane and Village Voice – Jessica Harrington – Shane Foley on 5/1.
Sunday has the two 3yo trials over 1400m – the first for the boys is the Red Rocks where Atlantic Coast is on 4/1 for JP O'Brien – McMonagle – he's by Kodiac and father Aidan saddles two No Nay Never colts in Battle Cry 9/2 and Samuel Colt 5/1.
The girls run in the Priory Belle where A Lilac Roila, an unbeaten daughter of Harry Angel, is on 9/2 for Twomey-Lee. Buttons is on the same quote for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore with the Kingman filly. Kitty Rose is on 11/2 for Natalia Lupini and Seamie Heffernan – she's by Invincible Army and a Choisir dam.
