Pallasator could be up for the Cup

Royal Ascot winner Pallasator is one of 13 horses in the Comer Group International Curragh Cup on Sunday.

Gordon Elliott’s veteran won the Queen Alexandra Stakes on Saturday and could be out again quickly over almost a mile less.

Aidan O’Brien has left in Southern France, Nelson and Giuseppe Garibaldi, who were all placed at Ascot, with Cypress Creek Delano Roosevelt, Flag Of Honour and Victory Salute others also in contention.

Willie McCreery has the option for Bloomfield, after she finished second in the Munster Oaks recently.

“I’ve left her in for Sunday, as that could cut up badly,” he said.

“With the weather as it is, with no rain forecast, the track should be able to ensure good ground as they know how much water will be needed. There’s no excuse really.

“We went round the tracks last week, Limerick, Cork, Down Royal — if the smaller tracks can do it you’d hope the bigger tracks can.

“Teofilo’s love fast ground, the ground won’t affect her, you just want it safe, coming down off the hill when you turn into the straight, you wouldn’t like it quick there.”

Brazos, Twilight Payment, Drapers Guild and Sound Check from Germany complete the list.
