Minding stands head and shoulders above 11 potential rivals in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on Sunday.

Out of the first two only once in a 13-race career, when third to Almanzor in last season's Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown, she looked as good as ever when winning the Mooresbridge Stakes on her return to action at Naas.

On all known form, it is her race to lose, but the strength of the opposition could depend upon which Aidan O'Brien-trained stablemates - Deauville, Highland Reel, Idaho, Johannes Vermeer and Somehow - she faces.

The sole remaining possible from the United Kingdom is Roger Charlton's Decorated Knight, with Success Days, Moonlight Magic, Creggs Pipes, Gentil J and Reckless Gold the others who could take on Minding.
