This could prove a contest between English and Irish along with French 2000 Guineas winners. FIELD OF GOLD (1) was a touch unlucky when runner-up to RULING COURT (6) in the G1 English 2000 Guineas at Newmarket (Rowley) during May. Readily set the record straight in the Irish equivalent at the Curragh and holds potential to be top-class. Can reverse the outcome. The second mentioned is yet to be seen since his Newmarket (Rowley) success. Holds major form claims racing for top connections. Aidan O'Brien trains HENRI MATISSE (3) who won the 1m G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains at Longchamp in May and commands respect with ground conditions to suit under Ryan Moore. RASHABAR (5) heads the remainder.
