Burke eyeing Curragh Renaissance for True Mason There are a couple of Group Three prizes up for grabs at the Curragh on Saturday, the first being the AES Renaissance Stakes. Karl Burke has won this six-furlong contest in each of the past two seasons with Quiet Reflection and Unfortunately respectively - and could this year send True Mason across the Irish Sea. The home contingent includes Joseph O’Brien's Speak In Colours, the Joe Murphy-trained Gustavus Weston and Tom Hogan's admirable veteran Gordon Lord Byron. There will be more emphasis on stamina in the two-mile Holden Plant Rentals Loughbrown Stakes. Aidan O'Brien's dual Classic winner Capri could drop in class following a largely disappointing campaign thus far, while Weld's Falcon Eight might find this a little easier than when last of four behind Stradivarius in last month's Yorkshire Cup. Weld has also entered four-times winner Kastasa. Noel Meade could saddle Dadoozdart, who has not been seen in competitive action since winning the Ulster Derby at Down Royal in June.
