Ben Linfoot assesses the chances of Field Of Gold in the Betfred 2000 Guineas after his impressive victory in the bet365 Craven Stakes. The QIPCO 2000 Guineas has never been won by John Gosden. He’s won the Derby (twice), the Oaks (four times), the 1000 Guineas (just once), the St Leger (five times), the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (on three occasions) and five Breeders’ Cup races amongst an array of other top-level prizes.

Can Gosden unearth a Guineas horse?
