Newmarket Racecourse
"Romeo Foxtrot and Ptolemaic have also done exceptionally well."
Bryan Smart is keen to give his three Newmarket Guineas entries a run in one of the trials to assess their prospects of going for Classic glory.
The North Yorkshire trainer has Foxtrot Romeo (Timeform master rating of 99) and Ptolemaic (97) in the 2000 Guineas and Excelette (102) in the 1000 Guineas.
All three are big prices in the ante-post markets for their respective events, but Smart reports them to have wintered well.
"Excelette has done really well through the winter. I'm very pleased with her," said Smart.
"Romeo Foxtrot and Ptolemaic have also done exceptionally well.
"All three will probably take in a trial and we'll see what we do after that.
"They all had good first seasons and have done very well during the winter."
In other Guineas news, Mick Channon is weighing up options for his exciting filly Samitar (112).
The daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar showed her quality during a fine juvenile campaign, winning an Ascot Group 3 and a Newmarket sales race.
She was also beaten just a head by Lyric Of Light (114p) in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile and Channon is looking forward to seeing her return to the track as a three-year-old.
"Samitar is great, I'm very pleased with her," said the West Ilsey trainer.
"I'm not quite sure where she'll go first, she might run in a sales race, but we'll see."
Samitar is currently [30/0] for the 1000 Guineas and the same price for the Epsom Oaks.
