A busy Sunday and the Curragh takes centre stage. Here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.
Curragh

Nurburgring looks a 4-year old on the improve and he can add today's big handicap to the Galway Hurdle win he had in August. He won by an easy 7 lengths at Galway and proved his rating of 139 to be all wrong, something similar might happen today as he looks to be a well handicapped horse back on the flat. Nurburgring warmed up for this race with a run at Leopardstown over 1m5f, staying on strongly to finish 4th of 22. The extra 4f today are bound to suit him and granted some luck in running, he ought to go very close to winning. Nurburgring rates a 5 star each way Pick.
