The first of five classics in the British flat season gets underway today, who is favourite to win it?
A fantastic day of flat racing at Newmarket will be headlined by the first classic of the flat season when the 2000 Guineas goes to post at 15:35.
Eleven runners will be bidding to etch their name in the history books and take home the £283,550 prize money in one of the pinnacle events in British flat racing.
Some of the finest 3-year-old thoroughbreds, colts and fillies will take to stage in this race, however, one horse is all the talk.
Aidan O'Brien trained City Of Troy is undeniably the horse to beat in this race given his impressive pedigree and undefeated juvenile season which featured an impressive victory in the Dewhurst Stakes.
This prodigy sets a very high standard for the race and is currently a best price of 8/11 at various bookmakers.
Can Aiden O'Brien claim his 11th victory in this race or will someone spring a surprise?

Who is Favourite to Win the 2000 Guineas Today?
City Of Troy leads the betting at a best price of 8/11 available at various bookmakers.
This comes as no surprise given his juvenile record boasts an impressive three wins from three and the fact this horse is sired by Triple Crown winner, Justify and is also related to the notorious Galileo, suggests this fast start to his career is nothing to take lightly.
The second favourite is Hannon trained Rosallion who ended his two-year-old career with an impressive win in Group 1 Jean-Luc Lagardere and has form against some of the most promising up and coming horses.
He can be found at a best price of 13/2 at various bookmakers including bet365.
Third favourite is Notable Speech who at odds of 12/1 might be somewhat of a dark horse.
He has three consecutive wins at Kempton in impressive fashion and despite lacking juvenile racing experience has certainly established himself as a top flat racer with these performances.
