John Oxx's Born to Sea is a leading contender after a great season as a juvenile and although we are yet to see him in 2012 he could still be a major player. Racing Post Trophy winner Camelot remains the warm favourite in the 2000 Guineas Betting after Aidan O'Brien confirmed he will take his chance this afternoon.

Power had been all the rage following his Coventry Stakes and National Stakes successes last year, but defeat in the Dewhurst to Jim Bolger's Parish Hall has left the Ballydoyle challenger drift in the market, whilst the Bolger horse will miss the Guineas with the ground too soft.

The 2000 Guineas is always one of the most prestigious races of any season and the 2012 race will be no different with all the big yards set to have live contenders in the 2000 Guineas Runners. Recent winners of the race include Sea the Stars and Henrythenavigator while the great Frankel was the winner for Sir Henry Cecil in 2011 meaning it really can be a springboard to success as a three-year old.
