IT was very good news during the week when Too Darn Hot was added to the list of potential runners in today’s Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas. It adds big intrigue to a race that was not lacking in depth anyway.

We have the first and third from the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, as well as last year’s Vertem Futurity Trophy runner-up – beaten just a head by the Guineas winner – having his first run since.
