A superb card at the Curragh on Sunday features two Group 1 races – the Tattersalls Gold Cup and the Irish 1,000 Guineas.

Duke of Marmalade will be a warm order in the Tattersalls. He won the Group 1 Prix Ganay, the form of which is working out – the third horse there Sageburg beat the high class Darjina in the Prix D´Isaphan last Sunday.

Finsceal Beo and Red Rocks at their best would pose a threat but perhaps the biggest danger is the progressive Lucarno trained by John Gosden.

The 1,000 Guineas is a tough race to work out. If the Mick Channon trained Nahoodh was as unlucky as claimed in the Newmarket Guineas she will probably go close.

The third and sixth in the French 1,000 Guineas were both trained by Aidan O`Brien – Halfway To Heaven and Psalm Run.

The former ran an excellent race, having only her third outing she chased the very strong pace (run in a record time) all the way.

The winner of the Musidora Stakes, Lush Lashes, steps back in trip and if taking her chance is worth considering.

Caribbean Sunset from the powerful Dermot Weld yard ran an excellent trial for this when winning a Group 3 at Leopardstown recently.

Previously she had beaten Halfway To Heaven a head over seven furlongs. She is improving and could well get involved.

Saoirse Abu trained by Bolger has the best form. She won the Group 1 Moyglare Stakes over seven furlongs as a two-year-old. Her third in the Newmarket Guineas, beaten a length, having been hampered in the closing stages, was an excellent effort. In an open race Saoirse Abu is the selection.
