Teofilo back on track for Guineas

Irish trainer Jim Bolger has "no worries" over favourite Teofilo ahead of the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

The unbeaten Galileo colt had been restricted to walking and swimming for a week after a "training setback."

But Bolger issued a positive bulletin on Monday after the horse enjoyed his first trot since the disruption.

"There are no worries whatsoever," said Bolger when asked about the horse's prospects of lining up for the one-mile colts' Classic on 5 May.

Bolger boasts a leading hand in the opening Classics of the season, and also reported on the wellbeing of his 1000 Guineas favourite Finsceal Beo.

Speculation surrounding Teofilo a week ago saw his price drift on the betting exchanges and several bookmakers also suspended betting on the race.

Sponsors Stan James reopened their market, and the horse is 11-4 favourite.

Having looked at the trials in England last week "with curiosity", Bolger said he was very impressed with Greenham Stakes winner Major Cadeaux.

But following the flop of Sander Camillo, he suspects the principal opposition to Finsceal Beo (7-4) in the fillies' race will come from Irish-trained rivals.

He expects Teofilo to canter on Wednesday, work at half-speed the following day and then work at the weekend.

The three-year-old will have another workout next Tuesday, before flying to England.
