Oratorio looks percentage bet in 2000 Guineas

ORATORIO is a hopeful choice to land the Boylesports’ Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh this afternoon.

All he does at home is eat and sleep according to his handler, Aidan O’Brien, and the son of Danehill gets the nod on the basis his first run of the campaign will have woken him up.

Oratorio finished fourth in the English 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, behind stable companion Footstepsinthesand, after taking an eternity to hit top gear.
