Takar chance on Oxx

There’s no Camelot in this afternoon’s Abu Dhabi Irish 2000 Guineas (3.15) at the Curragh but there’s certainly no shortage of Ballydoyle representation.

The stable’s Power has the profile of last year’s winner, Roderic O’Connor, who flopped badly at Newmarket before bouncing back to win this race.

However, whereas last year’s winner was bred for the trip, Power remains a doubtful stayer at a mile and odds of 9-2 hardly reflect that. Faster ground is a help but he’s opposable at those odds.
