'It's all systems go for the Guineas and it's very exciting - he's undoubtedly the best colt we've trained'
George Boughey talks to Jonathan Harding about his big names

George Boughey may have lost his stable flagbearer in Group 1 winner Believing but he still has plenty of firepower in his second season at Craven House Stables in Newmarket.
The Classic-winning trainer can look forward to the unbeaten Bow Echo, a leading contender for the Betfred 2,000 Guineas, as well as a fascinating older prospect in Survie.
"It was brilliant to end last year with 100 winners and a Group 1 success," says Boughey. "Our overall quality is up, so we're having fewer runners and it becomes more difficult, but it would be a huge feather in our cap if we could reach a century again. Bow Echo is our leading light but there are plenty of other horses who can hopefully fly the flag in those big races."
