No surprises in fillies classic

FRENCH raider Natagora and impressive Nell Gwyn victor Infallible dominate the list of 18 fillies left in the stanjamesuk.com 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on Sunday after yesterday’s five-day stage.

The Pascal Bary-trained Natagora won the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket last term and will be bidding to become the first French-trained winner of the mile race since the Criquette Head-trained Hatoof triumphed in 1992.

Infallible was a clear-cut winner of the Classic trial on her last outing and will be trying to emulate Lahan, who gave trainer John Gosden a 1000 Guineas victory in 2000.
