Review curragh 11th Apr

Sun 11th Apr 2010, 17:50

< Fame And Glory suffered an odds-on defeat on his return to the racetrack as She's Our Mark took the New Tote Sports Lounge Alleged Stakes at the Curragh.

Johnny Murtagh brought the Aidan O'Brien-trained star through to challenge leader Popmurphy as they headed for the final furlong in the Listed contest, but he found little for pressure.

The 2-5 favourite was not given a hard time once the writing was on the wall and She's Our Mark (12-1) swept past under Danny Grant to win by a length for the Pat Flynn team.< Keredari (4-1) booked his Irish 2000 Guineas ticket when showing his rivals a clean pair of heels in the Listed New Tote Sports Lounge Loughbrown Stakes.

John Oxx's colt responded to Fran Berry's urgings to inflict a four-length defeat on Jamaayel with O'Brien's easy-to-back Alfred Nobel finding disappointingly little when asked to pick up from the rear.

Oxx's hopes of a big-race double were thwarted by one of his former inmates as the Murtagh-ridden Kargali denied Rayeni in the www.thetote.com Gladness Stakes.

Luke Comer's 10-1 chance finished down the field in the Irish Lincolnshire, but relished this heavy ground to catch the favourite inside the final furlong en route to victory by three-quarters of a length in the Group Three contest.

O'Brien picked up his first juvenile prize of the season in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Market leader Oracle appeared to be travelling best when angled out to make his run at the furlong marker, but he found less than promised and stablemate Samuel Morse (7-1) shot through a gap against the rails to beat Brookley Lady by a length and a half.

The stable completed a double when Murtagh found space on the rails in the final furlong to take the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden by half a length on Rocket Man (9-2).

Paul Deegan's Celtic Soprano (7-1), a good moneyspinner last year, pipped Tovaria to the www.newmarketracecourses.co.uk Handicap spoils, and Daffodil Walk (11-2) pounced for a stable double in the Browns Shopfitting & Construction Handicap.
