Field Of Gold tops 12 seeking Irish Guineas crown

Field Of Gold tops 12 seeking Irish Guineas crown

Ante-post favourite Field Of Gold is among 12 confirmations for the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday.

John and Thady Gosden’s colt came with a wet sail in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket but could not catch Ruling Court.

It was confirmed on Monday that multiple Irish champion jockey Colin Keane will take the ride this weekend.

Field Of Gold is owned by Juddmonte, who have an incredibly strong hand in the Classic with Harry Charlton’s unbeaten Cosmic Year and possibly Windlord lining up.

Aidan O’Brien has saddled 12 winners of the race, with Churchill (2017) and Paddington (2023) triumphing in the last 10 years.

He could field Tetrarch Stakes winner Officer, along with Expanded, Serengeti and Trinity College. But Twain, a Group One winner last year who missed Newmarket following a dirty scope, has not been supplemented.

Jessica Harrington’s Hotazhell, a late scratch from the French Guineas due to quickening ground, is set to make his seasonal reappearance, while Rashabar, second to Jonquil in the Greenham, is on target for Brian Meehan.

Scorthy Champ, seventh at Newmarket, Donnacha O’Brien’s Commanche Brave and Paddy Twomey’s Currawood complete the list of possibles.
