Marmalade and Beo clash for Gold

Published at

Duke Of Marmalade and Finsceal Beo lead a six-strong field for the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on Sunday.

The former acquitted himself admirably at the highest level last term and gained a deserved day in the sun when landing the Prix Ganay in April.

Jim Bolger´s Finsceal Beo won both the English and Irish 1000 Guineas last term and finished an encouraging fifth in the Dubai Duty Free on her first start of 2008.

Mick Channon´s Halicarnassus will be the sole British-trained runner as Arch Rebel, Red Rock Canyon and Mooretown Lady complete the line-up.
