Irish racing tips: Johnny Ward has three bets on Sunday

Irish racing expert Johnny Ward has three bets on the Irish Derby undercard at The Curragh on Sunday, live on Racing TV. 
Benvenuto Cellini looks to have Raaheeb to worry about in a fascinating Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (4.35).
The ground should be fine for the pair, with Baaeed's brother a huge worry if you back anything else in the race as he could be anything and the remainder all look more exposed.
The market looks about right in the big one and I've gone with three on a brilliant undercard.

1.10 Curragh: Alpha

Holds Alpine Wedding and Ibelieveicanfly on Leopardstown running and hard to see a newcomer winning this. 
By Sea The Stars out of Alpha Centauri, it was no surprise he was hammered in the betting on debut despite Ryan Moore riding Ibelieveicanfly.

2.45 Curragh: Slieve Binnian

Last year’s winner’s subsequent form renders him theoretically ready to score again and the ground would not have suited last time, with the yard having a great season.

3.20 Curragh: Purview

A revelation last time, what looked a Group One-quality effort, and unless he was flattered by that he really should be winning this and the drop to ten furlongs is fine.
