Irish 2000 Guineas 2024

[Nathan Hughes]

Anything good enough to get Rosallion off the bridle?

River Tiber will have big distance question mark
Unquestionable is interesting but yet to run this season and Aidan’s still not running great 1st time up
Haatem all things being equal isn’t on par with stable companion
City of Troy is Derby bound
Igor Stravinsky is likable but this is a huge step up in class
Diego Velazquez ran well in France but likely to go elsewhere

the list goes on

Henry Adams, needs two whip strikes just to get out the stalls these days

I’ve backed Rosallion

[Nathan Hughes]

Not many have priced it up when I looked yesterday

I’ve back him for the St James Palace stakes, will hold off for now
I think he’s a good thing if running

Unibet are saying 9/4 when I looked just now

They must’ve taken it down again. I can’t see either of the 1000/2000 Guineas.

Bump – AOB leaves six in per RP update

[GM23]

Unibet have it back up now. Rosallion at 7/4.

[Nathan Hughes]

O’Brien will need more than 6 to stop Rosallion

River Tiber is rumoured to be the one for it
Not run beyond 6 furlongs
not had a run yet this season
runs like a sprinter
looks like a sprinter
had a few issues last season
Aidan will be a genius if he wins this

Rosallion wont be beaten, as you said nathan, RT wont be staying the mile, even if he did, hes not in the same league

[Nathan Hughes]

I haven’t access to unibet so didn’t get on at the better prices
6/4 with Hills is still big enough but I’m going to hold off as Henry Longfellow is still in as a sub according to the odds and I wouldn’t put it past Aidan throwing a fast one
I do have Rosallion at 5’s and 7/2 for Royal Ascot which could get shorter when winning this unless of course things don’t always work out that way for various reasons. The guineas winner was impressive at Newmarket but had race fitness on his side over Hannon’s horse and could be worth taking on at the price especially on quicker going.

If Henry Longfellow runs I’d definitely be a lot less confident but he’s a lot more likely for Royal Ascot. I’m hoping that’s the case as I’ve backed him for the St James Palace.

[Nathan Hughes]

That’s the most likely scenario

Aidan seems to have left him in incase the weather turns which would be against River Tiber and also Rosallion
The forecast looks dry from what I have seen with potential of a bit of rain on Saturday

Don’t think it would be against river tiber

He has a proper soft ground action iirc

Maybe it would make it harder for him to get the trip though

[zilzal]

Rain belt emanating from southwest currently due to hit the Curragh around 3.40 on Saturday

[Nathan Hughes]

Looking nearer to 4pm Saturday now Zilzal
I’ve played Rosallion at 5/4 last night
The likelihood is Aidan pulls Henry Longfellow out and the Hannon horse goes odds on
and if he doesn’t we play again

Longfellow as expected is taken out
Rosallion still odds against, fill your boots
