Los Angeles finds plenty to see of Anmaat in Tattersalls Gold Cup

showed class and courage to come out on top in a red-hot renewal of the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh.

Aidan O’Brien’s 9-4 favourite was ridden by Ryan Moore on his second start of the term, with his opening gambit a smart Mooresbridge Stakes success from White Birch.

The latter horse also lined up in a classy field for the Group One contest, but as threw down his challenge it was Owen Burrows’ who loomed up beside him having travelled sweetly into contention.

It looked like the Champion Stakes hero would prevail on his first run since Ascot in October, but former Irish Derby winner clearly had more to offer still and duly put his head down again to prevail by half a length.

Kalpana was third, with White Birch fourth after what was not the smoothest of passages for the talented grey.
