Australia, ante-post favourite for the 2,000 Guineas, has been confirmed as part of the Aidan O'Brien string of horses set to work after racing at the Curragh on Sunday.

The regally-bred son of Galileo and Ouija Board sprang to prominence with an impressive Group 3 victory at Leopardstown last September.

He will be joined in the gallop by fellow Guineas contender War Command, winner of the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes last season.

Also taking part will be leading 1,000 Guineas hope Tapestry, who was unlucky in defeat in last season's Moyglare.

Coolmore confirmed their participation in a tweet today that read:-
