TUESDAY CAN BE O’BRIEN’S HIGHLIGHT OF WEEK

Time to start the week on TUESDAY (3.45) in the Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh.

The smart Galileo filly is Aidan O’Brien’s ( right) prime candidate to give the trainer a fourth straight renewal.

His stable has a record 10 wins overall — and Tuesday’s third in the English equivalent was most promising.

The full sister to 2016 Oaks heroine Minding kept on well for a place behind Cachet, who backed up the form in France at the highest level.

Connections will have one eye on Epsom, where lightly- raced types gaining in maturity often thrive — and she can take this on the way there.

Tom Marquand’s 23 per cent strike rate at the time of writing could be enhanced by ALENQUER (2.40) in the Tattersalls Gold Cup.

He posted a powerful performance to thwart Lord North on his seasonal debut, a rival who improved for the run to dead- heat for first in the Dubai Turf.

Alenquer went in the Sheema Classic, finishing sixth and losing a front shoe in the process.

He meets a couple of opponents similarly rated to the principals on that occasion, but he should obtain a more prominent position than them in the run.

Crucial

That could be crucial, on ground he likes — and let’s not forget he defeated subsequent Derby hero Adayar at the start of his stellar season.

PEARLS GALORE can add another jewel to her crown in the Group Two

Lanwades Stud Stakes (3.10).

All going comes alike to her and she heads the ratings, fresh from a comfortable score over Pretreville, who franked the form next time up.

FINE BY HER is capable of taking a hand in the Handicap Hurdle (3.52).

She lost out by under two lengths from this workable mark at Hereford.

FANTASY MASTER (3.40) he contests the Racing TV Profits Returned To Racing Handicap.

He loves the course, headgear is reapplied and Ray Dawson takes over from a claimer, while any rain will be another plus.
