1pt each-way at 16-1 generallyTHE market for the Qipco 1,000 Guineas has been a lot livelier in the past week than that of the 2,000, with the gamble on the Aidan O’Brien-trained Winter coming as something of a shock.

A 33-1 chance on Monday, she’s been closing in on second favouritism and would have sealed that deal had Ryan Moore chosen her over Rhododendron, as some speculated he might.

He didn’t, but given the market move you wouldn’t be at all surprised if Winter turned out to be top class.
