Gstaad will aim to go one better than at Newmarket when he heads a field of 10 for the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday.
Aidan O’Brien’s colt had a busy time of things as a juvenile and was second in three Group Ones before finally getting his day in the sun at the Breeders’ Cup.
Following some drama regarding his entry status prior to the Newmarket Guineas, he was the only horse to seriously give Bow Echo a race and is a long odds-on favourite to claim his own Classic.
Charlie Appleby’s Distant Storm, third at Newmarket but some eight lengths behind Gstaad, is next in the betting with the Godolphin trainer looking to add to his win in the race with Native Trail in 2022.
Appleby also runs Pacific Avenue, with O’Brien’s second string being Neolithic.
Thesecretadversary, trained by Fozzy Stack, was not disgraced at Newmarket and is another with live claims.
One horse who skipped the British Classic was Karl Burke’s Alparslan. He won the Greenham when he had Zavateri and Albert Einstein behind him.
Power Blue, a Group One winner for Adrian Murray last season, now represents Robson Aguiar in the Amo Racing silks.
Go Just Do It, Bamako Beach and Take Charge Star complete the field for the first Irish Classic of the season.
