Field Of Gold can earn compensation for his near miss at Newmarket by taking the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas, the first Irish Classic of the season, on Saturday afternoon at the Curragh.

John and Thady Gosden’s colt won two of his four outing as a juvenile and was most impressive in the Craven on his return to action. On the back of that, he was sent off favourite for the Newmarket 2000 Guineas but his late charge for glory came up just shy of Ruling Court.
