Swallow may bid for Gold Cup repeat
The five-year-old won the 10-furlong contest on his seasonal debut last season but he failed to figure in his four subsequent starts.
Weld had been looking to run the 2004 Irish Derby winner in Saturday's Dubai World Cup but a couple of setbacks ruled him out of the Group One event.
"I'm happy with him and he worked very well yesterday morning, the best he's worked this year," said Weld.
"He had two hold-ups in the spring when I wanted to set him up for the Dubai World Cup neither were were big problems but it's held me up for a while.
"The first time he had to have some antibiotics which kind of set him back and we had to shelve all the plans we had made for him."
Although the Curragh event is under consideration for Grey Swallow, Weld also has an alternative option of the Grade One Manhattan Handicap at Belmont Park in America on June 10.
"I would say he may go for the Tattersalls Gold Cup which he won last year," the trainer told At The Races.
"The other race I have in mind for him is in the States, the Grade One Manhattan which is a race I've always wanted to have a crack at in New York."
