Seven Runners In Tattersalls Gold Cup
Godolphin have supplemented their unbeaten colt Cutlass Bay for Sunday's Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh.
The four-year-old has had five previous outings, all for Andre Fabre in France, and signed off his career there in great style by winning the Group One Prix Ganay.
His likely participation sets up a mouthwatering clash with Aidan O'Brien's Fame And Glory, who returned to winning ways in the Mooresbridge Stakes. O'Brien has also left in the likely pacemaker Dixie Music.
Adding further strength to the Group One heat is Sir Michael Stoute's Glass Harmonium, a gutsy winner of the Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown last time out.
Dermot Weld is also chasing an elusive first success at the highest level with his classy mare Chinese White, who looked better than ever on her seasonal return at Gowran.
Mick Channon's globetrotter Halicarnassus is engaged along with Kevin Prendergast's Recharge and that pair complete the seven remaining entries.
