Trainer Charlie Appleby is seeking to win the Derby for a second time. Ahead of next week’s Cazoo Derby, a couple of contenders had their first taste of Epsom Downs racecourse and here are the thoughts of their connections. ONE RULER – CHARLIE APPLEBY “I was very pleased with what I saw there. He is a naturally balanced horse but he hasn’t encountered anything like that before. The whole object of the exercise was to let him have a look at the track but more importantly he was fresh in the Guineas as you saw there. “From what we have seen so far you couldn’t be happier. He has mov...

Curragh Racing Tips: Kevin Blake fancies Van Gogh in the 2000 Guineas Kevin Blake is back to provide you with his top tipping this weekend, where he fancies a mud lover at Haydock, as well as an Aiden O'Brien horse in the 2000 Guineas... "Whether one is the type to pay any attention to it or not is another matter, but when interviewing Ryan Moore for Betfair a few weeks ago I felt that he was particularly sweet on Van Gogh."

Trainer Aidan O'Brien will still be represented by Battleground, Van Gogh and Wembley, who was a market mover earlier in the week to head the ante-post market for the contest at 4-1.

Qipco 2,000 Guineas (Group 1) | 3yo colts & fillies | 1m | ITV/RTV Aidan O'Brien's challenge for an 11th win in the Qipco 2,000 Guineas presents a different profile to recent seasons, with arguably no one standout among three colts that all achieved a high level of form at two.  Wembley is the anointed one in a wide-open market, thanks to the booking of Ryan Moore as well as his course form when second to stablemate St Mark's Basilica last October.  "The plan was always to come back here after the Dewhurst, when he would have preferred better ground and was maybe drawn a little out of it...
