Tom McCourt saddled a winner at Dundalk on Friday through Celtic Druid and is eyeing the Curragh on Sunday for a couple of his soft-ground performers.

The trainer said: "We've a couple that go on the soft - Smoke Them Out will run on Sunday. He won in the Curragh at the backend of last year.

"The idea was always that he would go there (Curragh, opening day).

"Rampage will probably go back there as well. He finished fourth on the first day of the Flat last year."
