Casamento given Guineas go ahead

Casamento is among 15 six-day declarations for the Qipco 2000 Guineas but Dream Ahead isn't.

The former, trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni for Godolphin, was also under consideration for the Dante at York but has been left in by Sheikh Mohammed's team.

Dream Ahead's trainer David Simcock said at the weekend he expected to take his colt out because of the prevailing fast ground.

Red-hot favourite Frankel stands his ground along with pacemaker Rerouted while Alexander Pope, Master Of Hounds and Roderic O'Connor are all still engaged for Aidan O'Brien.

Saeed bin Suroor, Godolphin's other Newmarket-based trainer, is set to run Dewhurst flop Saamidd while Native Khan heads to Saturday's first Classic of the season rather than take in the French equivalent.

Broox, Dubawi Gold, Fury, Happy Today, Loving Spirit and Slim Shadey complete the field with Ecliptic, Nebraas and Tlaad the other three horses taken out.
