Crowley calls it: “Elarqam should run a huge race”

Top jockey previews 2000 Guineas

Laraaib ran a massive race in the Brigadier Gerard. It was a big improvement on what he’s done so far. It was a big step forward.

Poet’s Word is a very good horse and ours is still an inexperienced horse so it was a great first run of the season.

Gabr also ran well in the Heron Stakes. It was a cracking performance as the ground would have been too soft for him as well.

We had a good Newmarket last Friday, with three winners and a second, and things have kept going well all week.

I had a couple of winners at Goodwood on Thursday during the afternoon including a nice two year old trained by Charlie Hills called Mutawaffer who would be a very good ride at Royal Ascot.

We have some nice ones to look forward to.

3.35 Curragh – Weatherbys Ireland Greenland Stakes (Group 2)

Tasleet

He missed his engagement in the Duke of York stakes last week and has come here instead. He will have a very good chance in this race.

Last year he was ultra-consistent and his only blip was in the July Cup which turned into a silly race.

He was second in four Group 1s so he brings some very strong form to the table here and must have a very good chance.

He is best with a bit of cut in the ground. He has run on Good to Firm, in fact he won on it at Chepstow on one occasion, but his best form is on easier ground.
