Dubawi Promoted To Curragh Favouritism Godolphin´s Dubawi is the new favourite for Saturday´s Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh. The son of Dubai Millennium was only fifth behind Footstepsinthesand in the Guineas at Newmarket but has taken over at the head of the market after sponsors Boylesports reported little support for the Aidan O´Brien-trained colt. Footstepsinthesand´s stablemate Oratorio, who was fourth at Newmarket, has also been well-supported and the Ballydoyle pair are the 5-2 joint second-favourites behind 9-4 shot Dubawi. British raider Rebel Rebel, runner-up at Newmarket, is another to have been the subject of sustained support and is now 9-2 from 8-1 having been supplemented at a cost of ?40,000 on Monday. Irish 2000 Guineas, Boylesports bet: 9-4 Dubawi, 5-2 Footstepsinthesand, Oratorio, 9-2 Rebel Rebel, 8-1 Democratic Deficit, 14-1 Raydan, 16-1 Ad Valorem, Bobs Pride, Rebuttal (others on request). ?
