The 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas Trials will be on the menu at Leopardstown this afternoon.

Aiden O'Brien saddles two of the top fancies in the 1,000 Guineas - You'll Be Mine with Seamus Heffernan riding at 11/3,

Famous with Johnny Murtagh riding at 10/3 and his other runners Ice Empress is at 33/1. With due respect to the O'Brien

runners we may have an each-way on Duchess of Foxland at 20/1. She won first up at the Curragh last outing.

We have a soft spot for Viscount Nelson as he's out of the mare Imagine whom we knew when she was a baby - he's a

brother therefore of Horatio Nelson. He's 5/2 for this. Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning provide the main threat with Free

Judgement at 7/2, Famous Warrior is at 11/2 and Johnny Murtagh is going to ride Black Quartz for O'Brien - the horse is

resuming here and is at 7/1.
