Churchill odds-on to achieve Classic double in the Curragh

Churchill is long odds-on to achieve a Classic double in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh today.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained colt took the British version of the Classic at Newmarket at the beginning of the month, on what was his first outing of the year.

A field of five go to post for the supporting Group 2 Lanwades Stud Stakes at a quarter-to-five where Jim Bolger’s recent course Group 3 heroine Turret Rocks will be fancied to hold off Opal Tiara.

Racing gets underway with the Fillies Maiden at ten-to-two and the going is good to firm.
