Dubawi Off To Ireland


Connections of the Richard Hannon-trained Dubawi Gold are in confident mood as he prepares for another shot at Classic glory in Saturday's Abu Dhabi Irish 2000 Guineas.

Owner Andrew Tinkler was prepared to supplement his colt for the Curragh event after his highly respectable second to Frankel at Newmarket and he was quickly installed as favourite by the bookmakers.

Tim Jones, Tinkler's racing manager, said: "He's absolutely spot-on. He did a nice piece of work at the weekend and Richard is very happy with him. It's all systems go and he will probably travel over to Ireland on Thursday."
