The Curragh is the stage for Aidan O'Brien's stars to strut their stuff and after business as usual on the first day of the Irish Guineas meeting, it's likely to be more of the same today when the Tattersalls Gold Cup (3.55) and the Irish 1,000 Guineas (4.30) are the 500k feature contests.

O'Brien teamed up with Ryan Moore for three odds-on winners yesterday when the latter was victorious on all four mounts.

This morning, bookmakers have four Ballydoyle runners at odds-on namely Sun Princess, Great Barrier Reef Minnie Hauk and 1,000 Guineas favourite True Love.

O'Brien also has dual Group 1 winner Precise as second-favourite in the fillies' Classic.

Just the eight races today with the first off at 1.45pm and following dry and warm conditions and selective watering after racing, the ground is good, good to yielding in places with five yards of fresh ground.

It's set to be sunny again with temperatures in the low twenties.
