2,000 Guineas: early form guide

Twice Over is the new second-favourite for the 2,000 Guineas after his gutsy defeat of John Gosden's Raven's Pass in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket on Thursday.

Firms were quick to respond and layers went 5/1 immediately after the pair crossed the finishing line. Cecil, who continues his remarkable resurrection of his career, said after the race: "We are not certain he is a Guineas horse and I don't want to push him if it is not the right race for him, we'll see." Twice Over was also cut for the Derby and is 6/1 from 8/1 for the Epsom Classic, while Raven's Pass was shaved for the 2,000 Guineas from 11/2 to 5/1. Infallible, also trained by Gosden, is the new 1,000 Guineas favourite at as short as 3/1 after her scintillating success in the Nell Gwyn Stakes. The Pivotal filly won the Group 3 contest by three-and-a-half lengths and although the runner-up Kaylayne was priced at 66/1, the performance created a deep impression. The money had been trickling in all week, and the filly's odds for the 1,000 Guineas had been cut from a general 20/1 on Monday, to as short as 12/1 before the Nell Gwyn. Infallible showed her inexperience in the parade ring, and during the canter down to the start, and she looked right up against it when she missed a beat, and the break. Despite hanging to the right, she still powered clear at the furlong pole and she recorded a faster time than the earlier Free Handicap won by the colt Stimulation. The Khalid-Abdullah owned Natagora, who won at Maisons-Laffitte on Monday, is a best-priced 5/1, while Muthabara and Specious, who are yet to emerge this season, are around 6/1 and 7/1 respectively.
