One Cool Cat leads 2000 Guineas line-up

Ante-post favourite One Cool Cat heads the list of 21 colts remaining in the UltimateBet.com 2000 Guineas after today’s confirmation stage.

One Cool Cat’s trainer Aidan O’Brien also has Tumblebrutus in Saturday’s Classic at Newmarket.

O’Brien has won the race twice in the past with King Of Kings (1998) and Rock Of Gibraltar (2002), who like One Cool Cat ran at Newmarket without the benefit of a prep-race.

All the leading fancies stand their ground with second favourite Salford City set to represent David Elsworth and impressive bet365 Craven Stakes winner Haafhd running for Barry Hills.

Glaramara, Golden Sahara, Grand Reward, Grey Swallow, Haafhd, Iqte Saab, Milk It Mick, Newton, One Cool Cat, Peak To Creek, Salford City, Snow Ridge, Three Valleys, Tumblebrutus, Whipper.
