Free racing tips for 2,000 Guineas day: punting fancies from our top team

Newmarket nap

Lady Bowthorpe (5.30 Lingfield)

William Jarvis's likeable filly was unlucky not to record a hat-trick last autumn and has been working very nicely on the Al Bahathri.
David Milnes

Handicappers' nap

Exec Chef (4.10 Newmarket)

Some solid efforts in the first half of the campaign last year but down 10lb since last summer. Weighted to go well as 2lb lower than when runner-up in the Spring Mile on last season's reappearance.

Ace tipster

Kameko 3.35 Newmarket

Should be a clear second-favourite in the 2,000 Guineas betting and is the one that could realistically upset Pinatubo if he is at all off his game.
Keith Melrose

Spotlight nap

Nate The Great (5.55 Newmarket)

Often campaigned in better company for Archie Watson, running creditably in Listed races and finishing third in a Group 3. Gelded since his last run and attractively treated off a reduced mark on stable/handicap debut.

Speed figures

Smokey Bear (5.20 Newmarket)

Winner of his last two outings as a juvenile over this trip and looks capable of completing his hat-trick.
Dave Edwards

Dark horse

Military March (3.35 Newmarket)

The ante-post Derby joint favourite is expected to improve for a step up in trip later in the season, but is good each-way value here with course-and-distance form in the book.

Amarena (6.05 Lyon Parilly)

Interesting that Pascal Bary chose to give her a try over 1m6f on her yard debut but she is not short of speed, while the recent rain may not suit likely favourite Grand Glory.
