Address Unknown has Midas touch

ADDRESS UNKNOWN can provide Midas Touch with a perfect eve-of-Derby boost if successful in tonight’s Curragh feature.

The Dermot Weld-trained colt was two lengths shy of Midas Touch in the Derrinstown Derby Trial last month and lines up now in the Listed Silver Stakes over a mile and a quarter.

That Derrinstown performance earned Address Unknown a 108 rating and he will be hard to beat if running to that this evening.

Six older horses line up but the biggest danger could be another three-year-old, Carraiglawn, who is rated 16lb inferior but is a half-brother to Soldier Of Fortune who won his maiden easily at Navan last time.

Eddie Harty has Baron De’l in the big race but could have better luck afterwards with Camira in the fillies handicap and Princeton Plains in the mile maiden.

Camira looked value for her 9lb penalty at Leopardstown on Sunday, while Princeton Plains is taking on lesser company now than when third to Rocket Man here in April.

Dainty can take a competitive mile-and-a-half handicap.
