Established names are scattered across the draw, with pace strands likely to emerge from several pockets rather than one obvious source. That often produces a properly run race in which patience and positioning carry as much weight as raw speed.

Plenty arrive with angles. Godwinson represents a yard who are often targeted at marquee handicaps, and Ryan Moore’s booking inevitably tightens the market. Coeur d’Or returns to a track he knows, while Blues Emperor and Booyea are back at their favoured trip having shaped as though a mile remains within reach. Tokenomics, Pink Oxalis and Genuine Article also re-enter calculations on collateral form, whereas seasoned handicappers such as Big Gossey and Independent Expert bring course evidence with mixed recent results.

Against this busy backdrop sits State Actor, a five-year-old who was narrowly denied in this very race twelve months ago and who has compiled tidy mile efforts this summer, including a close third here in late June. The ground has been a narrative thread for several of these, with a few better suited to something kinder than rattling-fast turf; that nuance matters in a heat where small margins decide who threads the gaps when it counts.

Best Bet for Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh 4:37: State Actor to win

Here at bettingtips4you we only provide a single prediction rather than many different ones, as we believe in quality and not quantity and only give out the best tip per event. This also makes life easier for readers who do not have to juggle several alternatives, and it improves accountability because one clear selection per race can be tracked for profitability.

State Actor appeals on a blend of course evidence, recent shape, and tactical suitability for a mile cavalry charge. His Curragh mile record this season features a very close third on good ground on 29 June, where he was beaten only a length in a €50k handicap, suggesting his current mark leaves room for a winning push in a bigger pot. He returned at Leopardstown over 1m1f on quicker conditions and shaped fairly in sixth, only four lengths behind the winner; the extra furlong and the faster surface were not ideal, yet he still kept on. Before that, a messy run here in May can be parked given he never truly landed a blow. Crucially, last year’s Irish Cambridgeshire effort—when he was edged out by a head—demonstrated he handles the unique intensity of this contest and the track’s rhythm at this trip.

Dylan Browne McMonagle is in rare touch in the last fortnight (12 winners from 35 rides, 34%) and knows how to time a challenge in these big-field Irish handicaps. W T Farrell has had only one runner in the same spell, so stable data are thin, but the horse’s profile carries its own momentum. The opposition is strong but not impenetrable. Godwinson is on the up yet faces battle-hardened rivals from a prominent position in the betting; Bear Profit bounced to a career peak at Galway and must repeat in a deeper field; Genuine Article shoulders a double-digit rise after making all, which is tougher to pull off in this cauldron; Tokenomics and Pink Oxalis have cases but each needs ideal underfoot and race shape to fully bloom.

State Actor, by contrast, owns multiple Curragh mile runs that read well, is drawn centrally enough to keep options open, and is likely to be delivered late. With ground less extreme than last time and the trip back to his sweet spot, he can thread the needle and go one better than twelve months ago.
