Despite getting beaten at Meydan last time TALK OF NEW YORK remains prominent in the betting for the 2000 Guineas and can set himself up for a tilt at the first Classic by seeing off the highly promising Richie's Rocket.

5	Created excellent impression when winning 13-runner maiden at Kempton (1m) on debut last autumn. Beaten at short odds in a Meydan listed race (1m, good) in February but it was another highly promising effort. Was keen on that occasion and has a hood added now. Very smart prospect. 1st Pick 5 Talk Of New York Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby	100	-	-	-	72%

3	Confirmed C&D debut promise when quickening clear for easy win in 7f Lingfield maiden in November. On the back of that he went off a short-priced favourite for the listed Spring Cup on his reappearance at the same venue but was always playing catch up after a slow start. Remains capable of better. 2nd Pick 3 Richie's Rocket (Ire) Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: Rossa Ryan T: Ralph Beckett	98	-	-	-	20%

2	Couldn't make a significant impact at Group 2 level last summer but his 2 performances at Meydan this year confirm he's very useful. Races beyond 6f for the first time on his return to Britain. His main role here might be to ensure there's a decent gallop for Talk of New York. 3rd Pick 2 Maximized Jockey: James Doyle Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: James Doyle T: Charlie Appleby	92	-	-	-	23%
