O'Brien happy with Guineas squad

Jupiter Pluvius, Aidan O’Brien’s leading candidate for the Stan James 2000 Guineas, pleased the Ballydoyle handler when working this morning.

O’Brien was speaking by telephone to guests, including Lester Piggott, Michael Stoute, Henry Cecil and Joe Mercer, at a Newmarket racecourse lunch to celebrate next month’s 200th running of the 2000 and 1000 Guineas.
