Field Of Gold heads 12 Irish 2000 Guineas confirmations

Field Of Gold heads 12 confirmations for the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday.

With Irish champion jockey Colin Keane confirmed to be in the saddle, Field Of Gold stood his ground at the latest confirmation stage for Saturday's Group 1 prize.

A somewhat unlucky fast-finishing runner-up behind Charlie Appleby's Epsom Derby-bound Ruling Court in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, John and Thady Gosden's charge looks set to be sent off an odds-on chance to gain compensation in the Irish equivalent.

Field Of Gold looks like spearheading a three-pronged attack on the race for owners Juddmonte, who also intend to run Harry Charlton's unbeaten Cosmic Year and the Andrew Balding-trained Windlord.

Aidan O'Brien could saddle as many as four as he goes in search of a thirteenth success in the Classic. O'Brien, who last won the race with Paddington in 2023, currently has Officer, Expanded, Serengeti and Trinity College engaged. The former is the shortest of the quartet in the ante-post market following his success in the Tetrarch Stakes, while Twain, who had been a possible for the contest having been forced to bypass Newmarket due to a dirty scope, was not supplemented.

The Jessica Harrington-trained Hotazhell is in line to make his first outing as a three-year-old following his late withdrawal from the French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp earlier in the month.

Brian Meehan will be hoping his Greenham Stakes runner-up Rashabar can go one spot better, while Scorthy Champ could take his chance for Joseph O'Brien after finishing seventh in the English equivalent at Newmarket.

Donnacha O'Brien's Commanche Brave also remains in contention alongside the Paddy Twomey-trained Currawood.
