2022 Flat Issue 1 - News Before The Off

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."

2022 Flat Profile - One that didn't make it and a surprise to the Ed

Tenebrism 3 y bb f Carravaggio – Immortal Verse

High class 2 year old and 2nd favourite for the 1000 guineas , she made her debut at Naas in March last year , winning a 5 f  by 3 ¾ l from Gaire Os Ard, then in September at Newmarket, won the 6f group 1 Cheveley Park stakes by 1l from Flotus. A mile looks to be the top of her stamina range on breeding, and she may prove best at 6/ 7f . Sure to win some top class races this season.

Trainer A.O Brien

2022 Flat Profile - Yonafis

3 y bc Golden Horn – Modeyra  (Bob)

Could be one of the best unexposed picks, he is currently unbeaten, making a winning debut at Lingfield in November taking a 1m maiden by ½ l from Al Marmar, then followed up at Chelmsford in December winning a  1m novice stakes by 1 ½ l from Mr Big Stuff (received 6lb). 

He doesn’t have any fancy entries, but from a stable that is so good at placing it’s horses, I can see him taking a big handicap or two before rising to listed level

Trainer W.Haggas

2022 Flat Profile - Theogony

3 y ch g Teofilio – Sway Me Now  (Cod)

Lightly raced colt, from a good yard and should improve, he made his debut at the Curragh last May, finishing 4th, beaten 11 ½ l by Quick Suzy (received 11lb), in a 6f Auction Maiden. He reappeared at Cork recently in a 7f maiden, finishing 9th, beaten 14l behind Toy (gave 5lb)
