Native Trail To Face 14 In The Guineas

[Wandering Eyes]

Godolphin's unbeaten champion juvenile Native Trail (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) heads a field of 15 for Saturday's G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, with William Buick on board as expected leaving the fellow Charlie Appleby-trained Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) to be ridden by James Doyle. Drawn at opposite sides, the G1 Vincent O'Brien National S. and G1 Dewhurst S. hero Native Trail is in 15 with his G3 Autumn S.-winning stablemate in one with a field split always a possibility in this race. Ballydoyle's unbeaten G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy winner Luxembourg (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) will break from stall four, with the operation's TDN Rising Star Point Lonsdale (Ire) (Australia {GB}) in 11 as Aidan O'Brien waits on riding announcements having also withdrawn Glounthaune (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}). Three others taken out were Angel Bleu (Fr)  (Dark Angel {Ire}), Bayside Boy (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) and Dr Zempf (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}). Looking for a pace scenario at this stage, it could be that low numbers are the place to be with Highclere Thoroughbred Racing's Royal Patronage (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), who beat Coroebus in the course-and-distance G2 Royal Lodge S., set to exit from stall six. Another high-profile runner drawn low is Sheikh Rashid Dalmook Al Maktoum's G1 Prix Morny and G1 Middle Park S. winner Perfect Power (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}) in three.
