Our man Johnny Ward marks your card for Irish 1,000 Guineas day at the Curragh where every race is live on Racing TV.
2.15 Curragh: Otherworldly (E/W)
There wasn't a great deal between him and fellow newcomer Immortal Guard - who was heavily backed - at the Curragh, but the winner had a far easier trip.
Trained by Joseph O'Brien, Otherworldly should improve and he makes ample each-way appeal at 9s.
2.45 Curragh: Green Carrera (E/W)
The Curragh fourth last time, Sanctijude, won a hot maiden during the week and Green Carrera holds Anushka, who was fifth, on that run.
She's an obvious each-way contender for her top yard.

5.05 Curragh: Greek Flower
Needs luck but this should be run to better her chance and there is little doubt she is well-treated at a track she likes.
5.40 Curragh: Storm Heart
Kingstonian, tipped at Chester when a huge gamble, is hard to oppose, but this Willie Mullins-trained runner has never had a shot at the level yet for the champion jumps trainer, and he is almost certainly well-treated off 82.
