The Curragh horse racing predictions on this page cover scheduled racing over the next seven days. Each race shows a top-three reading, a selection and a win-probability scale for every declared runner, together with a predicted finishing position.

Form notes for The Curragh use recent results, jockey bookings, distance and the published going. They are an analytical view of the Ireland racecard, not a guarantee of winners or profits. Check non-runners, jockey changes and going updates before you rely on an overnight figure.

Set a limit. Only stake what you can afford to lose. Do not chase losses.
