Found set for Moore success in Tattersalls Gold Cup

Found could not have been more impressive when scoring last time out, and looks a worthy red-hot favourite to land the landing the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at The Curragh (15:40).

Trained by Aidan O’Brien, the beautifully bred daughter of Galileo enjoyed a terrific 2015 when winning twice and running some top class races in defeat.

After scoring easily in the Group 3 Royal Whip Stakes over course and distance, Found ran a blinder to be beaten just a length by Investec Derby winner Golden Horn in the Group 1 Irish Champion Stakes.

The four-year-old then got no luck in running when ninth behind that rival in the Arc, but got revenge on the final start of the campaign when getting the better of John Gosden’s stable star by 1/2 a length in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf at Keeneland.

Moorsebridge success oozed class

Although disappointing when a well beaten third in the Group 3 Coral.ie Alleged Stakes on return to action at The Curragh, Found showed the benefit of that run when easily landing the Group 3 Mooresbridge Stakes at the same venue earlier in the month.

Jockey Ryan Moore gave the daughter of Galileo an ultra confident ride, and after having to wait for a gap to appear Found quickened between rivals 100 yards out to score easily by 1 1/2 lengths.
