Lyric Of Light has been given the green light to contest the 1000 Guineas after shining in a racecourse gallop on Newmarket's Rowley Mile...

The Mahmood Al Zarooni-trained filly, unbeaten as a juvenile including in the Fillies' Mile and rated 114p by Timeform, worked over the course and distance of the Classic on Sunday morning.

Ridden by Willie Rovetto, she worked in companion with two stablemates and sprinted five lengths clear two furlongs out.

Her stablemate Discourse, who is rated 116p by Timeform, also completed a racecourse gallop last week and will join Lyric of Light in a fortnight.

"Lyric Of Light did a good piece of work which will have helped her get ready for the Guineas," Al Zarooni told www.godolphin.com.

"I am looking forward to running Lyric Of Light and Discourse in the Guineas but we need a lot of luck."

Al Zarooni won the Classic last year with Blue Bunting and is fancied to land the prize this year too.

Discourse is currently second favourite for the 1000 Guineas, trading at (9.617/2), whilst Lyric of Light is available to back (10.5n/a).
