Noseda Unconcerned About Curragh Conditions

Jeremy Noseda believes Araafa is likely to cope with the predicted testing conditions at the Curragh in Saturday's Boylesports Irish 2000 Guineas.

The ground looks certain to be soft for the mile Classic but Noseda has indicated that his charge ? fourth in the Stan James 2000 Guineas at Newmarket ? should handle it when lining-up under Alan Munro.

He told www.jeremynoseda.com: 'I feel that he shouldn't be inconvenienced by the soft ground. Prior to Newmarket I was actually a little bit concerned about running him on quick ground.

'My hope is that a reproduction of his Newmarket performance should put him in the frame again.'
