Gold is Guineas favourite

Richard Hannon’s Dubawi Gold has been installed the early favourite for Saturday’s Abu Dhabi Irish 2000 Guineas with a number of colts dropping out of the reckoning for the Curragh Classic.

The runner-up to Frankel in the Newmarket equivalent was supplemented for the race by owner Andrew Tinkler and was priced up by Paddy Power as the 7-4 market leader.
