The Grey Gatsby, Adelaide and Kingston Hill are just three of the top class horses among the 28 entries for the Tattersalls Gold Cup.

The Group 1 contest will take place at the Curragh on Sunday, May 24th, as part of the Tattersalls Irish Guineas Festival.

Winner of the Cox Plate for Aidan O'Brien last October, Adelaide is now trained in Australia by Chris Waller and is being aimed at the Queen Elizabeth Stakes in Randwick in April but will return to Ballydoyle for a European summer campaign.

The Grey Gatsby won the French Derby and Irish Champion Stakes last season for trainer Kevin Ryan. The 12-furlong Dubai Sheema Classic in Meydan on March 28th is thought to be his immediate target.

Kingston Hill won the Doncaster St Leger for trainer Roger Varian last September and ended his three-year-old campaign with a a fine fourth place in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained Tapestry (winner of the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks) and Al Kazeem, winner of the Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2013, are other notable entries, together with the Dermot Weld trained Free Eagle, My Titania (John Oxx), Pollyana (John Hammond) and the Richard Hannon trained pair of Shifting Power and Pether’s Moon.

Paul Hensey, Curragh manager, commented: "We are delighted to see so many classic and Group 1 winners among the initial entries for this world class race and we are very grateful to both owners and trainers for supporting what promises to be one of the highlights of our 2015 season.”
