THE first Classic of the season, the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, is the highlight of today's racing and although New Approach is likely to start favourite, it seems every man and his dog is tipping Frankie Dettori's mount, Ibn Khaldun to take the spoils. Personally, I think New Approach is a worthy market-leader and will take all the beating. But for those seeking better value, Stimulation should run a big race at around 14/1, while a real outsider might snatch a place and the one I like is Strike The Deal, currently trading at around 40/1.
For the nap though I am going to Thirsk where the selection is Sphere in the 2.30, a 1 mile 4 furlongs maiden stakes. James Fanshawe's runner faces rivals from the yards of Sir Michael Stoute and Ed Dunlop which should ensure a decent price.
