Aidan O'Brien's grip on the Qipco 1,000 Guineas tightened on Sunday after long-time ante-post favourite Inspiral was ruled out of the Classic by joint-trainer John Gosden. Inspiral had been supplanted as favourite for the Group 1 on Friday by the O'Brien-trained Tenebrism after Chris Richardson, managing director to Inspiral's owner Cheveley Park Stud, had talked of the spring not being "100 per cent straightforward".
"Having consulted Mrs Thompson and Chris Richardson, a decision has been made not to run Inspiral in the 1,000 Guineas," said Gosden, who trains along with son Thady. "She missed some days training at a critical stage of her preparation and although she is well in herself now, we don't have her at the correct pitch to run in the Guineas."
