Dermot Weld’s Tarfasha is joint-second-best with Paddy Power, who make her and Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Marvellous 6-1 shots. Aidan O’Brien’s runner, who was sixth in the Oaks – beaten nine lengths – when sent off the 4-1 favourite, could be joined by a number of stablemates with the Irish champion trainer leaving six horses in the race.
John Gosden had to retire four-time Group 1 winner The Fugue last week, but could see his unbeaten daughter of Sea The Stars instantly fill the void and take her top-level tally to half that this weekend.
“She’s very well and we plan to do a piece of work with her tomorrow and take it from there – everything has gone to plan so far,” said Gosden. “She handled Epsom well but the Curragh is a very fair, galloping track and should hold no fears. I’m like the horses, I don’t look at the odds but we’re very pleased with her.”
