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.
