Verdict

It's hard to oppose last year's Champion two-year-old, CHURCHILL, in what looks like a fine renewal of the 2,000 Guineas. His form last year sets him apart from the rest of this field and his trainer's record in the race speaks for itself. The absence of a run under his belt this season would be the only concern and if he fails to justify likely favouritism, Dream Castle could be an interesting each-way contender. He's shown a nice turn of foot on both of his starts and the application of a hood could help him settle under the handling of Silvestre De Sousa, who rides him for the first time. Barney Roy produced a professional display to finish ahead of that rival last time and he could be another Godolphin recruit that could give Aidan O'Brien a thing or two to worry about.
