FIELD OF GOLD announced himself as a huge player for this after his dominant success in the Craven over C&D on his comeback 17 days ago and can provide his stable with an elusive first win in the 2000 Guineas. Charlie Appleby has won 2 of the last 3 renewals and holds a strong hand once again, with William Buick opting to ride the very exciting Ruling Court over last season's champion 2-y-o Shadow of Light.
