New Approach Available At Over 4-1 On Betfair For 2,000 Guineas NEW APPROACH is as short as 7-4 with one bookmaker to win next month´s 2,000 Guineas ? but he is currently over twice that price on Betfair, where the horse trades at a shade above 4-1 this afternoon. Quite why there is such bullish opposition to the unbeaten Dewhurst winner is hard to ascertain, but it could simply be that the race is far more competitive than the traditional layers believe it to be. Betfair´s Irish spokesman Eoin Ryan observed: "New Approach´s Guineas price on Betfair has steadily drifted over the past few weeks but perhaps that is none too surprising given that the connections of the other leading contenders are all reportedly very confident of Guineas success, too. If they all get to the race fit and fancied, it could easily be one of the better class Guineas of recent years ? and New Approach may well be nearer 4-1 than 2-1 on the day, anyway. New Approach is also lengthening on Betfair´s antepost market for the Vodafone Derby and trades at 6-1 this afternoon. He is a top-price 4-1 for that race with several traditional bookmakers.
