Official BHA Rating 105 2 HABUB (USA) (101) 5 9 10 (136) 021-555 B h War Front (USA) - Sweet Lulu (USA) (Mr Greeley (USA)) MR HAMDAN AL MAKTOUM Cieren Fallon (3) OWEN BURROWS, Lambourn (Breeder - Summer Wind Farm) Draw D ROYAL BLUE, WHITE epaulets, EMERALD GREEN cap. 9 H Well-held in 6f handicap at Newbury on only turf start last May; good overall AW record but didn’t find much back at 7f in first-time hood at Wolverhampton in March and now fitted with blinkers off what looks a highish mark. Official BHA Rating 105 3 BLOWN BY WIND (10) 4 9 9 (135) 0051-01 B g Invincible Spirit (IRE) - Discourse (USA) (Street Cry (IRE)) SHEIKH HAMDAN BIN MOHAMMED AL MAKTOUM Joe Fanning MARK JOHNSTON, Middleham (Breeder - Godolphin) Draw C D SILVER, tassel on cap. 1 HHH Course winner at two; trod water for much of 2019 but took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning at Musselburgh on final start (7f, soft); put the race to bed quite convincingly on return from lockdown at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) but up 4lb and this is altogether harder.

Official BHA Rating 104 5 DAARIK (IRE) (10) 4 9 9 (135) 01/12-1 B g Tamayuz - Whip And Win (FR) (Whipper (USA)) MR HAMDAN AL MAKTOUM Frankie Dettori JOHN GOSDEN, Newmarket (Breeder - Knocktoran & Ballantines Racing Stud Ltd) Draw D ROYAL BLUE, WHITE epaulets, PINK cap. 21 HHHH Finished last on only turf start (on debut); has had almost as many breaks as he’s had races but returned from the latest one with a strong win over two fair types at Newcastle (7f ); the quick turnaround is a worry with his record but his ability and connections make him hard to pass over. Official BHA Rating 104 6 SILENT ATTACK (129) 7 9 7 (133) 6023-12 B g Dream Ahead (USA) - Chanterelle (FR) (Trempolino (USA)) SOUTH YORKSHIRE RACING Tom Marquand TONY CARROLL, Cropthorne (Breeder - Ship Commodities) Draw D BF ORANGE, ROYAL BLUE disc, WHITE and ROYAL BLUE striped sleeves and cap. 17 H In good form at 7f-1m on AW for new connections but marks in the 100s have always pushed it in turf handicaps and hard to think that today is going to be any different. Official BHA Rating 102 7 FLAMING SPEAR (IRE) (209) 8 9 5 (131) 01/5000- Ch g Lope de Vega (IRE) - Elshamms (Zafonic (USA)) ANTHONY BLOOM Joey Haynes DEAN IVORY, Radlett (Breeder - Gerry Flannery Developments) Draw D ROYAL BLUE, WHITE seams, ROYAL BLUE cap, WHITE star. 25 HHHH Out of sorts in the autumn but he can go well fresh, including when first home in his group in the Hunt Cup in 2018 (1m, good to firm), and he later came home strongly in a similar C&D handicap (soft); has come down the weights and could go well at a price. Official BHA Rating 100 8 MUTAMAASIK (278) 4 9 5 (131) 21111- Ch g Dubawi (IRE) - Muhawalah (IRE) (Nayef (USA)) MR HAMDAN AL MAKTOUM Dane O’Neill ROGER VARIAN, Newmarket (Breeder - Shadwell Estate Company Limited) Draw D ROYAL BLUE, WHITE epaulets, BLACK cap. 16 HHHH Won all four 7f starts since debut (AW/good/good to firm), doing impressive late work on the stiff finish at Newmarket in August and seemingly finding Doncaster’s easier 7f a sharp enough test after; needs to pick up where he left off but has potential and is a good candidate for this stiff test.

Official BHA Rating 99 11 GREENSIDE (255) 9 9 4 (130) 413452- B g Dubawi (IRE) - Katrina (IRE) (Ela-Mana-Mou) CLAYTON, FROST, KEBELL & TURNER Marco Ghiani (5) HENRY CANDY, Wantage (Breeder - Lordship Stud) Draw RED, WHITE diamond, WHITE sleeves, RED spots. 23 HHHH Had problems and lightly raced for his age; all wins at 1m but impressive the way he dealt with his first 7f run, when coming clear with a rock-solid and gambled-on winner over C&D in October (soft; under Marco Ghiani); up 5lb and off since but could well have a nice prize in him even at this late stage; has won on good/good to firm. Official BHA Rating 99 12 KAESO (10) 6 9 4 (130) 10012-0 B g Excelebration (IRE) - Bahia Breeze (Mister Baileys) MR M. WEBB Oisin Murphy NIGEL TINKLER, Malton (Breeder - Sir Eric Parker) Draw D GREY, GREY and RED diabolo on sleeves, RED cap. 13 HHHHH Cannot fault his C&D record, having been involved in two tight finishes for top handicaps here in 2019 (both on good to soft; has won on good/good to firm); better for a recent tune-up behind Daarik on the AW and big run likely with Oisin Murphy up for the first time.

STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 7/3/2020 it was reported that the horse was slowly away. Official BHA Rating 98 15 MOTAKHAYYEL (325) 4 9 3 (129) 1/1216- B c Heeraat (IRE) - Virtuality (USA) (Elusive Quality (USA)) MR HAMDAN AL MAKTOUM Jim Crowley RICHARD HANNON, Marlborough (Breeder - Crossfields Bloodstock Ltd) Draw D ROYAL BLUE, WHITE epaulets, striped cap. 26 HHH Made swift progress at 7f-1m on good to firm in 2019 before good to soft proved a major stumbling block on final start here in July; can hope for better again at four but it’s asking a lot for him to be at the top of his game after nearly a year off. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 27/7/2019 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the going.

    The QIPCO Guineas Festival 2021 Featured Image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/113417287@N08 © 2021 TGH Trading Ltd – All Rights Reserved The 2021 Qipco Guinea’s Festival at Newmarket is a weekend of world class turf flat racing over two days, featuring the first two Classic races of the new turf flat season, the 1000 and 2000 Guineas, which form part of the British Champion Series. First run in 1809 the 2000 Guineas, a race ran for 3 year old colts and fillies and named after the amount of Prize Money on offer, was followed 5 years later, in 1814, by the addition of the 1000 Guineas, a race solely for 3 year old fillies. Both races are run on the Newmarket Rowley Mile course on consecutive days. The 2000 Guineas on day 1 is a test of speed for the thoroughbred runners and the prize money on offer for the winner this year amounts to a hefty £212,663, with the race forming the first part of the English Triple Crown which also includes the Epsom Derby and the St Leger. The English Triple Crown has been won by 15 horses over its years (including 3 winners of substitute races at Newmarket during World War I). The most recent and most popular is Nijinsky back in 1970 ridden by the famous Lester Piggott. Steve Mellish explains in the video below why achieving the Triple Crown is such a difficult task.
