 Racing/Curragh preview: The Curragh stages the first meeting of the Irish Flat season tomorrow where all eyes will be on Kieren Fallon, who will have his first rides as stable jockey for Aidan O'Brien.

Jaguar On The Run in the six-furlong Peter Keatley Curragh Groundcare Maiden is the first of the 40-year-old's three mounts for the Ballydoyle team. This does not appear to be a particularly strong contest and the Storm Cat colt is sure to start at short odds to get the new partnership off to a perfect start.

Fallon could be back in the winner's enclosure after the Listed EBF Park Express Stakes, where he partners the once-raced Kitty O'Shea. The Sadler's Wells filly was all out to land a maiden at Navan at the back end of last season but she will act on the soft ground here and can follow up at the main expense of the John Oxx-trained Allexina.

The featured Ladbroke.com Irish Lincolnshire looks quite a competitive handicap with a huge field of 27 going to post. The Michael Grassick-trained Time Discloses All finished sixth in this race last year and could run a big race at rewarding odds. The five-year-old is a course and distance winner and will appreciate the conditions.

Jamie Spencer is a significant booking for Sky High Flyer in the seven-furlong Peter Keatley Groundcare Madrid Handicap. Paul Nolan's filly won a six-furlong maiden at Listowel and then ran a cracker when going under by just half a length to Lough Gem in a mile handicap at Gowran Park in October. She is likely to benefit from this drop in trip and looks sure to be involved at the finish.

Moon Unit should figure prominently in the tricky-looking Spar Ballymany At The Curragh Handicap over the minimum trip. Harry Rogers's four-year-old has gone close on a number of occasions and won first time out at Cork last season.
