Charlie Appleby-trained stablemates Native Trail and Coroebus look set to put on a show at the 2000 Guineas, the first real pillar of the British Flat racing season. They've been drawn on opposite wings. Coroebus starts from Stall 1 and Native Trail from Stall 15. Could they be neck-and-neck come the finish line?

Native Trail is now undefeated in five, having reaffirmed his status as favourite by charging to victory at the Craven Stakes earlier this month. It wasn't entirely plain sailing though. He took a little while to find his stride, though of course that made the recovery all the more spectacular.
Appleby, meanwhile, has kept people guessing with Coroebus, which won the Autumn Stakes and impressed during a gallop on the Rowley Mile two weeks ago.
But if there's one rule to live by at the 2000 Guineas, it's to always keep an eye on Aidan O’Brien. The 10-time winner is by far the most successful trainer at the Rowley Mile, and has two highly-rated entries this year in Luxembourg and Point Lonsdale, the latter of which will be jockeyed by Frankie Dettori.
