AIDAN O'BRIEN on Sunday warned that it would be "wrong" to say that 5-2 favourite Camelot was "likely" for the Qipco 2,000 Guineas after he was one of 44 Ballydoyle horses to work after racing at the Curragh.
Camelot, ridden by the trainer's son Joseph, quickened up well up the stands' rail at the end of aseven and a half furlong gallop to finish second in the first bunch of O'Brien's workers, which also included Ascot Gold Cup favourite Fame And Glory.
O'Brien did not rule out the 2,000 Guineas, but did not confirm that it was Camelot's target either.
He said: "It would be wrong to say that he is likely [to run in the 2,000 Guineas]. Obviously he's a possible, but not definite."

Curragh, Sunday
Lodge Park Stud EBF Park Express Stakes (Group 3) 1m, 3yo+, fillies & mares
Quote:
CHRYSANTHEMUM ran out a comfortable winner at the Curragh for trainer David Wachman and rider Wayne Lordan, holding off the challenge of Aidan O'Brien's 7-4 favourite Twirl for a one-and-a-half length victory.
The four-year-old winner was coming back to 1m after running two of her three races last season over 1m2f, finishing with a below-par effort in the Blandford Stakes.
