Expert analysis of the 14 runners declared for the QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday, along with galloping clues, is provided by Andy Stephens. Sadly, there will be no fairytale royal winner this year, as Slipofthepen did not make Monday’s confirmations. However, the King’s Saga will race in the nine-furlong handicap at 3.25pm, where fellow runners include King Of Conquest and Majestic. John Gosden may not train a 2000 Guineas winner, but with 20 winners from 61 runners since March and two top contenders in Auguste Rodin and Little Big Bear, Aidan O’Brien looks set to add to his record ten wins.
