If you had to narrow the 1000 guineas down to 4 horses

Special Duty, Seta, Music Show, Devoted To You

James, what appeals to you about devoted to you ? it's the only one on your list i haven't got.

Special Duty - Tabassum - Music Show - Principal Role

Special Duty - Tabassum and Music Show - although can a filly win the Guineas having won its maiden at Bath ??

It probably can this year.It's a poor renewal imo

Devoted To You was progressive last year, finishing her campaign with a good second to Lillie Langtry in the Gr.2 Debutante Stakes. I thought she ran a blinder on her comeback at the Curragh (behind a filly from the in-form Stack stable), considering how backward the O'Brien horses were at that time. If she makes the anticipated considerable improvement from that reappearance run (which is what we've come to expect from O'Brien-trained horses in recent seasons), she should have a shout in the Guineas. Don't know whether she'll run, mind you. O'Brien nominated her alongside Famous and You'll Be Mine as possible Guineas runners.

Special Duty. Has the best form all round.
Tabassum. Looked very good last year and excuses for being beaten. I think this is why Hamdan is not bringing the horse that beat SD in the trial over for this.
Pollenator. When they found out how to ride her she has great form. If the above 2 fail to say I think she wins.
Seta. She looked really good first time out but was beaten fairly & squarely by Pollenator. I will excuse her this run but I only have her 4th choice.
If the above all stay and the going is fast Special Duty wins.
If not Pollenator wins.
