The Curragh is set to stage the first Classic of the season in Ireland as the leading three-year-old milers prepare to tackle the Irish 2000 Guineas.
Godolphin colt Native Trail gained compensation at the Curragh after a near miss in last year’s 2000 Guineas and there is plenty of financial reward in the latest renewal as a prize pot worth €500,000 is up for grabs.
We could have a similar outcome in 2023 as Hi Royal, who finished second behind Chaldean in the Newmarket Classic, bids to go one better in Ireland but leading trainer Aidan O’Brien is set to boast a strong hand in his bid for a record-extending 12th winner.
You can run the rule over our Irish 2000 Guineas odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.

Hi Royal is next in our antepost market as the Newmarket second bids to go one better in the Irish equivalent.
