CHALDEAN might have been seen to good advantage in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket but that is still the best form on offer and his straightforwardness is likely to prove a huge asset once again. Aidan O'Brien has won this a record 8 times and he saddles the most progressive Paddington, who is the obvious threat after his win in the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh. Royal Scotsman has the ability to run a huge race if things drop right, while Cicero's Gift and Mostabshir both have big potential.
