Azamour On Schedule For Curragh

Azamour could be yet another top performer to join a number of racing luminaries in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on May 22, according to trainer John Oxx.

With Bago, Doyen, North Light and Grey Swallow also possibles for the extended 10-furlong contest, the presence of Oxx´s Irish Champion Stakes winner could help make it the race of the season.

Azamour will be having his first start since finishing third in the Newmarket Champion Stakes last October.

Oxx said: 'Azamour is in in good form and is on course for the Tattersalls Gold Cup.

'The weather is a worry and there is no sign of improvement. I just hope it gets better.

'He is coming along nicely though and is a smashing big horse. He´s still above his racing weight, but his gallop at the Curragh yesterday should bring him on.

'After that we´ll probably go for the Prince Of Wales´s Stakes at Royal Ascot at York and then we´ll see.'
