'What he did last season was fantastic' - trainers on their 2,000 Guineas hopes
Aidan O'Brien, trainer of Luxembourg and Point Lonsdale
It looks as though Luxembourg will go straight for the Guineas. He travelled well in his work at the Curragh the other day and finished close to Point Lonsdale so it will be interesting to see how they get on at Newmarket. Luxembourg is probably a little bit bigger than Camelot – he's rangier – but he has the pace. Point Lonsdale is a very brave horse. Even looking at him at the Curragh, his head goes right down to the ground. He's a great traveller – he has plenty of pace – but we think he'll stay as well.
Adam Ryan, assistant trainer of Triple Time
He's wintered well. He always looked like he would improve as a three-year-old so what he did last season was fantastic. He's straightforward so there's no issue going straight for the Guineas, but we'll discuss plans with the team. Nothing is set in stone yet.
Hugo Palmer, trainer of Dubawi Legend
He's thriving and settled in beautifully at the new yard. His work last week was good and he'll work at Wolverhampton on Wednesday. He'll work on the first day of the Craven meeting at Newmarket and I hope he'll be able to go straight to the Guineas without a prep.
