Racing:Michael Stoute has decided against his charge Workforce taking on So You Think in Sunday's Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh.
Last year's Derby and Arc hero had the 10-furlong Group One as his target for some time, but connections made no secret of the fact last week they were keen to give Workforce an easier introduction to his four-year-old campaign.
Instead, he is now likely to appear in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown on May 26th.
So You Think, the former Australian superstar, made a startling first appearance in Europe when winning the Mooresbridge Stakes by 10 lengths and looks set to be a major player in all the top races this summer.
His Aidan O'Brien-trained stablemate Await The Dawn also looks set for a big season after his easy success in the Huxley Stakes at Chester.
Jan Vermeer, Viscount Nelson and Windsor Palace are others from Ballydoyle among the 10 acceptors. Dermot Weld's prolific Famous Name and the Harry Rogers-trained Mid Mon Lady are also engaged.
British interests at this stage centres around Godolphin's Campanologist and Roger Charlton's Clowance.
