One horse who will not be caught short in the experience department in Saturday's QIPCO 2000 Guineas is the John Quinn-trained Red Duke.
The three-year-old won twice from six starts as a juvenile and ran a perfectly respectable race to finish fifth in the UAE Derby at Meydan at the end of March.
Yorkshire-based Quinn has been pleased with his charge since he arrived home and feels he could outrun his current Guineas odds of 66-1.
"He's in good fettle and I'm very happy with him," said Quinn.
"We could do with the ground drying up for the rest of the week, but we'll have to see what happens.
"I was very pleased with his run at Meydan. He was drawn 12 of 14 and had to race wide the whole way.
"He came there at the top of the straight like he was going to play a big part and he just hasn't stayed the trip at the end of the day, but he still ran well.
"I've been happy with him since he came home and we're hoping for the best. I think he's too big a price, but we'll see."
