Who To Follow At The Curragh On Sunday - 16/04/23

Leading dual purpose trainer Joseph O'Brien sends some nice runners to the Curragh on Sunday and that makes him the trainer to follow on Sunday.

The yards first runner of the afternoon comes in the 1m2f Maiden and Deakin was a good third last season on seasonal debut on soft ground and should build on that now a year older.

In the Alleged Stakes Visualisation is a heavy ground specialist who was a good Listed winner last time out and can now step up into Group Three company.

O'Brien then runs two in the Group Three Gladness Stakes with Goldana a nice recruit from Germany who will love conditions and also Hannibal Barca will be looking to bounce back to form.

Seamie Heffernan could be set for a good day on Sunday at the Curragh with no Ryan Moore and him having the first choice of the Ballydoyle runners.

In the opener he sits on the unraced son of Wootton Bassett River Tiber who could turn out to be useful and then in the 1m2f Maiden he gets the leg up on Cape Bridgewater who has been second on his last two runs.

Heffernan then rides next in the penultimate event of the afternoon which sees him aboard Roaming Star who was a good fourth on debut at Dundalk and can build on that.
