Newmarket has announced changes to the course layout for the Qipco Guineas Festival, with the stalls for the first two Classics of the season set to be on the stands rail rather than the centre of the track.

Richard Hughes plans to stay as busy as possible ahead of a weekend Classic engagement after making his long-awaited comeback at Lingfield yesterday.

Significant rain has seen the going at Newmarket in England ease to soft ahead of the two-day Qipco Guineas Festival this weekend.
