ROY THE BOY FOR CLASSIC
BARNEY ROY is the one to expose any flaws in the Churchill battle plans for today’s 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket.
He confirmed the faith many held in him when beating the highly touted Dream Castle in Newbury’s Greenham Stakes on his comeback last month.
Dream Castle went clear two furlongs out but Barney Roy powered past him under today’s rider James Doyle in the style of an exceptional horse.
Also at Newmarket, ORNATE can end a long losing spell in the Palace House.
Despite running a cracker on his return over six furlongs here at the Craven meeting, Frankie Dettori’s speedy mount will be better suited to the minimum trip.
Mark Johnston and Ryan Moore can combine to win the Newmarket Stakes with PERMIAN.
