Dubawi promoted to Curragh favouritism

GODOLPHIN’S Dubawi is the new favourite with the sponsors Boylesports for Saturday’s Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh.

The son of Dubai Millennium was only fifth behind Footstepsinthesand in the Guineas at Newmarket but has taken over at the head of the market after Boylesports reported little support for the Aidan O’Brien-trained colt.

Footstepsinthesand’s stablemate Oratorio, who was fourth at Newmarket, has also been well-supported and the Ballydoyle pair are the 5-2 joint second-favourites behind 9-4 shot Dubawi.
