O’Brien and Moore to shine at Newmarket
By Andrew Atkinson
AIDEN O’Brien and Ryan Moore could be set for a successful Saturday at Newmarket, underlined in the Quipco 2,000 Guineas with Ten Sovereigns (3.35) – the first British Classic of 2019 – and Sergei Prokofiev (2.20) in the Zouster Palace House Stakes.
Royal Marine, trained by Saeed Bin Suroor and ridden by Christophe Soumillon, is a Leader each way selection in the 2,000 Guineas, the 2018 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner trading at 9-1.
John Gosden trained Kick On, ridden by Oisin Murphy, is also tipped each way, having been backed down from 33-1 to 16-1 in the 2,000 Guineas Stakes 1 mile race.
O’Brien trained Ten Sovereigns is trading at 7-2 in the wake of ante post favourite Too Darn Hot’s withdrawal.
