Camelot raring to go in Cup clash

Joseph O’Brien does not anticipate the small field posing any problems for Camelot in tomorrow’s Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh.

Only four go to post for the Group One event over 10 furlongs, a race O’Brien’s father Aidan has won six times in the last eight years, including the last three renewals with Fame And Glory and Sou You Think (twice).

Camelot wrote his own name into Turf history last year by winning the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, the Derby and the Irish Derby and was only narrowly denied in the St Leger by Encke, preventing him from claiming the Triple Crown last won by Nijinsky in 1970.
