Australia heads Ballydoyle Guineas team Australia heads a team of four left in Saturday's Qipco 2000 Guineas by Aidan O'Brien The son of Galileo and Ouija Board had been winter favourite for the Newmarket Classic but lost that position when John Gosden's unbeaten colt Kingman reappeared with a breath-taking victory in the Greenham Stakes. The vibes coming out of Ballydoyle regarding him have been strong for some time, though, and O'Brien can also still call on Dewhurst winner War Command, Giovanni Boldini and Oklahoma City. Richard Hannon is another trainer with multiple chances, in what is his first season holding a licence having taken over from his father. The unbeaten Craven Stakes winner Toormore heads his team, ably supported by Night Of Thunder and Shifting Power. Roger Varian's Racing Post Trophy hero Kingston Hill brings a solid profile to the table, while the William Haggas-trained Ertijaal, victorious on All-Weather Championships Finals Day at Lingfield on Good Friday, is another improver. There is significant overseas interest, too, with Noozhoh Canarias, the first ever Spanish-trained contender, set to take his chance. Freddie Head is bullish about Prix Djebel scorer Charm Spirit, a route taken a few years ago by Makfi, whose trainer Mikel Delzangles could run Bookrunner. Godolphin's Breeders' Cup winner Outstrip, Kevin Ryan's The Grey Gatsby, David Elsworth's Master The World and Marco Botti's Lat Hawill are the other possibles.
