THE serious part of the flat season begins right here, right now with the first classic of the 2023 campaign, the 2,000 Guineas Stakes (4.40) at Newmarket and what looks like a possible vintage renewal.

Earlier this week, the Aidan O’Brien-trained AUGUSTE RODIN was the subject of a welter weight of money following his final piece of work and will go to post at around the 6/4 mark in his first leg quest to ultimately land the British Triple Crown.

The son of Deep Impact landed three of his five starts as a juvenile culminating in a three-and-a-half-length win in the Futurity Stakes at Doncaster despite the hock-deep ground being far from perfect for him.
