Curragh Accumulator Tips - 24th May Day two of the Tattersalls Irish Guineas Festival takes place at the Curragh on Saturday afternoon. There are eight races at the Co Kildare venue, with action from 13:20-17:25. Conditions are expected to be 'good-good to firm in places' and the Irish 2000 Guineas is due off at 15:40 as Field Of Gold bids to go one spot better than at Newmarket three weeks ago. Our racing expert has put together a Curragh treble for Saturday's action. Accumulator Selections for The Curragh 15:05 Curragh - Storm Boy 15:40 Curragh - Field Of Gold 17:25 Curragh - Shameful William Hill betting offer If you already have a William Hill account, check out more of the best betting sites and casino bonuses 15:05 Curragh - Storm Boy Aidan O'Brien, Ryan Moore and the entire Coolmore operation will be keen to see what STORM BOY has to offer in the Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes over six furlongs. The Aussie import cost a reported A$50million after impressing for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott last year. First time out at three he won the Group 3 Smithfield RSL San Domenico Stakes over five-and-a-half furlongs at Rosehill where he showed his trademark speed to master his rivals. He showed plenty of potential in his other Antipodean efforts and his subsequent purchase by Coolmore is another major statement in regards to their faith in his sire, Justify. This perhaps isn't the strongest Group 2 and he could be too good for Ger Lyons' My Mate Alfie. 15:40 Curragh - Field Of Gold FIELD OF GOLD was the fast-finishing second in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and John & Thady Gosden will be hoping compensation awaits here for the Juddmonte-owned son of Kingman. Kieran Shoemark admitted he may have been too confident on Field Of Gold at Newmarket, as Ruling Court played his cards early and won for William Buick, Charlie Appleby and Godolphin. Shoemark has been the fall guy for that Rowley Mile setback and so six-time Irish champion Colin Keane is booked to steer now. It's tough to imagine a better partner for Field Of Gold as Keane knows every inch of the track and is proven on the biggest stage. He looks to have the best horse in the race and should translate that to a win. 17:25 Curragh - Shameful Keane has also been snapped up by Clive Cox for the concluding Revamp Restoration And Conservation Handicap to ride SHAMEFUL. He won a Newbury maiden (6f, good) in September last year, form that has worked out quite well, while he was second at Kempton under a penalty in March on his only outing since. That was behind all-the-way winner Marvelman for the Andrew Balding team, with the pair stretching clear. The winner was second since in the Listed King Charles II Stakes at Newmarket behind Irish Guineas contender Cosmic Year. An opening mark of 90 could be within the reach of this three-year-old.
