Denford Stud Washington Singer Stakes (Listed) l 7f l 2yo | C4/RUK

Escobar aims to kick off another big weekend for Hugo Palmer when he puts his 2,000 Guineas credentials to the test in the five-runner juvenile feature that has provided a launchpad to big-race glory in the past.

Four years ago, the seven-furlong contest was won by subsequent Irish 1,000 Guineas scorer Just The Judge whilst, more recently, dual Group 1 winner Belardo was successful two years ago.
