Cox happy to go straight to Guineas
Xtension, one of 91 entries revealed for the StanJames.com 2000 Guineas, may be sent for the first Classic of the Flat season on May 1 without a prep-run by trainer Clive Cox.
One of the best of last season’s juveniles, Xtension was a very close third to Beethoven in the Dewhurst, won the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood and chased home Canford Cliffs in the Coventry at Royal Ascot.
