The 2000 Guineas returns to Newmarket today on ITV and ITVX on Saturday, with the 1000 Guineas set to take centre stage tomorrow.
In today’s headline race, City of Troy is the favourite and for good reason. The three-year-old is currently unbeaten and is trained by Aidan O'Brien who is seeking to win his fifth 2000 Guineas in the last 10 years.
Other contenders for the title include the Richard Hannon-trained Rosallion, Charlie Appleby's fast-improving Notable Speech and Clive Cox's Ghostwriter which went unbeaten in three races as a two-year-old.
It was a dry evening in Newmarket on Friday and the weather is set to be dry on Saturday so the 2,000 Guineas is set to be run on good ground.
