Overview

• Field Of Gold is set to compete in the Group One Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday, facing eight rivals in the season's first Irish Classic.
• After narrowly losing to Ruling Court in Newmarket's 2,000 Guineas, Juddmonte replaced jockey Kieran Shoemark with six-time Irish champion Colin Keane.
• Trainer John Gosden has indicated a possible shift to front-running tactics if the race pace is unsatisfactory, marking a departure from the colt's usual restrained style.
• Field Of Gold's campaign mirrors that of his sire, Kingman, who rebounded from a British Guineas defeat to win the Irish 2,000 Guineas on heavy ground in 2014.
• Juddmonte also enters Cosmic Year, an unbeaten Kingman progeny, in the race, doubling its chances for Classic success.
