Ranger Added To Guineas Field

Well-backed French raider US Ranger has been supplemented for the Stan James 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday.

The Michael Tabor-owned colt was as low as 6-1 with the sponsors after a sustained gamble through April and connections have elected to pay the £25,000 required to add him to the field.

Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, US Ranger is unbeaten in four races and won very well at Maisons-Laffitte around three weeks ago.

There were no major surprises in the 30 runners confirmed at the five-day stage, which include Jim Bolger´s long-term ante-post favourite Teofilo and Sir Michael Stoute´s Craven Stakes winner Adagio.

All the other leading fancies remain involved, including Strategic Prince, impressive Newbury maiden winner Diamond Tycoon and Greenham Stakes first and second Major Cadeaux and Dutch Art.

Aidan O´Brien still has the choice of running Duke Of Marmalade, Eagle Mountain, Mount Nelson and Yellowstone to take the first British Classic for a third year in a row.

Stan James 2000 Guineas, sponsors bet:

9-4 Teofilo, 3-1 Adagio, 6-1 Major Cadeaux, US Ranger, 8-1 Diamond Tycoon, 10-1 Strategic Prince, 12-1 Haatef, 14-1 Dutch Art, 20-1 Cockney Rebel, Mount Nelson, 25-1 Truly Royal, 28-1 Duke Of Marmalade, 33-1 Tobosa, 40-1 Vital Equine, 50-1 Eagle Mountain, 66-1 bar.
