'I think he's the kind of horse who could make others look insignificant'
What's your take on the 2,000 Guineas after the Craven and Greenham?
Jamie Hart, Tote Master Of The Seas quickened nicely when he got some daylight, but I’d be disappointed if there isn’t something smarter out there. Charlie Appleby has a strong hand in the race, but Chindit looks most like a Guineas type to me. Legion Of Honour is my dark horse at a big price.
James Hill, tipster I’ve not changed my mind and am very much a Wembley man. Hopefully he goes to Newmarket and if so I think he’s got excellent claims – I was very impressed with his performance in the Dewhurst. In terms of the recent trials, I thought Royal Air Force was an eyecatcher in the Craven.
David Milnes, reporter It’s ten years since Frankel won the Greenham and then the 2,000 Guineas but, unlike in 2011, the race looks wide open this year. Kieren Fallon put One Ruler through his paces for Charlie Appleby on the Rowley Mile last Wednesday and seemed very pleased afterwards so that will do for me.
