If Dylan turns up for the gig, i would be surprised to see him get beaten. It does look a good race though with Youmzain (who was the eyectcher in Dubai) and Sixties Icon, and not forgetting the BC winner, Red Rocks!! This should be a very good race.

I think Finsceal Deserves a break, come on Bolger, give her a break until Royal Ascot, she does deserve it......... Going for the Irish Guineas, too would just be greedy

I think she'll win the Irish Guineas easily, as long as the ground stays good.. my schedule might be a bit off at the bottom becuase they always wanted to up her to 10f for the Pretty Polly which is held on the 30th.. only 8 days rest and a possible match up with Alexandrova?? I wouldnt fancy her chances there..

With regard to this weekend, are Red Rocks and Sixties coming over or are they going to wait for Epsom a few days later?? I assumed that they werent coming over.. I hold Youmzain in very high regard and see him as big King George contender this summer..

I really don't know what they will be doing to be honest. Because both races are so close together and pretty similar in stature i think decisions are made a close to the time as possible.

Maybe you are right.

Which race is Dylan's favourite next outing?

Well, Dylan seems to be on course for Sunday, after that, Prince Of Wales, Ecplise, Irish Champion, Arc, BC?? or maybe they'll go for 12f early and get the King George.. he could win everything this year..

12 left. Danak could be an interesting candidate for this. from racingpost

DYLAN THOMAS heads a list of 12 possible runners in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on Sunday.

Aidan O'Brien's multiple Group One winner has looked better than ever in his two victories this season and landed the Prix Ganay at Longchamp on his last start in effortless fashion.

O'Brien appears to hold a strong hand in the 10-furlong event as he has also left in last year's Dante winner Septimus and 2005 St Leger hero Scorpion.

John Oxx could let the unbeaten Danak take a steep rise in class after the Aga Khan-owned four-year-old took a Group Three event on his last appearance.

Mick Channon could send Youmzain in search of a second Group One win at the Curragh while Sir Michael Stoute's Juddmonte International winner Notnowcato is also a possible.

Arch Rebel, Fields Of Joy, Fracas, Heliostatic, Mustameet and Nightime complete the list of possibles.
