CHARLIE APPLEBY-trained Al Hilalee has been added to the 2,000 Guineas line-up for Saturday at Newmarket at a cost of £30,000. The son of Dubawi, who won both his races last season, arrived at the weekend. Appleby said: ‘Al Hilalee (16-1) took part in a racecourse gallop at Meydan nine days ago and we were very pleased with him.’ Manu Tuilagi’s injury curse struck again yesterday when the England centre was ruled out for the rest of the season. The Tigers star will miss the final two games of the season, although he should be fit by the end of May, in time for England’s World Cup camps. it is the latest blow for struggling leicester, who still need to pick up points to guarantee their Premiershi­p safety. ANDY RUIZ is close to a deal to become Anthony Joshua’s opponent at Madison Square Garden on June 1 and replace Jarrell Miller in the wake of the American’s failed drugs tests. Ruiz, 29, was not on Joshua’s fiveman shortlist, but the heavyweigh­t, from California, is set to face the WBA, IBF and WBO world champion.
