Quote:
Ante-post favourite Dawn Approach heads a list of 24 horses left in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at the latest acceptance stage.
The Jim Bolger-trained colt, owned by Godolphin, has been top of the betting after going through his two-year-old campaign unbeaten. His six successes culminated in Group One triumphs in the Vincent O'Brien Stakes at the Curragh and the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.
Godolphin currently have a second string to their bow in outsider Steeler, trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni, who faces a British Horseracing Authority hearing over the use of anabolic steroids. This horse, who was in the care of Mark Johnston last season, is not part of the inquiry.
Aidan O'Brien retains a strong hand in the colts' Classic, with Mars, Cristopher Colombo, George Vancouver and Lines Of Battle, while Bolger has also left in Leitir Mor.
