Fifteen fillies are set to line up for Sunday's Qipco 1000 Guineas Stakes at Newmarket following today's final declarations.
There will be a strong Irish representation with two smart fillies towards the head of the betting market in Love and Millisle.
Love will bid to give trainer Aidan O'Brien a fourth success in five years in the Group 1 event. O'Brien was successful with Minding (2016), Winter (2017) and Hermosa last year.
Love won three times on home soil as a two-year-old including the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh but came up a little short when third to 1000 Guineas favourite Quadrilateral in the Group 1 Fillies Mile at Newmarket in October.
The Jessica Harrington trained Millisle produced a high class performance on her final two-year-old start when landing the Group 1 Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket in September. She has yet to race beyond six furlongs so Sunday's contest will be a step into the unknown.
Bet365 have priced up the event with the unbeaten Roger Charlton trained Quadrilateral as their 5/2 favourite ahead of Love 3/1, Millisle 5/1, Cloak Of Spirits 8/1, Raffle Prize 10/1, Boomer 12/1 and it is 16/1 or bigger the rest.
