The Curragh Racecourse is braced for a mammoth weekend of racing as the Tattersalls Irish Guineas weekend gets underway today and concludes on Sunday with a mouthwatering renewal of the Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas and Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup.

Dermot Weld will attempt the remarkable feat of winning a third Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas in four years for a third different flagship owner.
