Expert analysis on the top four in each of the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas

James Doyle was the star of the weekend as he won his first two British Classics in spectacular style on Coroebus in the 2,000 Guineas and Cachet in the fillies' equivalent. Here, the performances of the first four in each race are put under the microscope by our expert Raceform analysts.

2,000 Guineas

1. Coroebus (5-1)

Looked a potential Guineas winner when flashing his brilliance on more than one occasion over this course and distance last autumn, and his trademark style of travelling smoothly before killing off his rivals with superior acceleration was as evident as ever on this seasonal return, upstaging his shorter-priced and, until this point, higher-profile stablemate. His sire Dubawi has an excellent record with his 2,000 Guineas runners and this fellow will now head to Royal Ascot for the St James's Palace Stakes, with Native Trail set to head to the Curragh. Racing around a bend away from Newmarket will be new to Coroebus, but there's no reason why he won't cope and go on to establish himself as a top-class miler in 2022.

2. Native Trail (5-4)

Had already done it twice at Group 1 level over 7f as a juvenile and there was nothing wrong with his Craven win, for all that it didn't blow everyone away. The choice of William Buick, Native Trail saw daylight from stall 15 but came with a strong run that would have won him most races, just not this one containing an equally top-class stablemate. He'll now head for the Irish equivalent at the Curragh, a venue where he won the National Stakes at, and will likely take some beating there before again giving his trainer a welcome headache in trying to keep the pair apart.

3. Luxembourg (9-2)

Unbeaten in three starts at two and winner of the Group 1 Vertem Futurity, Luxembourg ran a big race considering he didn't get off to a good start, being short of room and stumbling, and then made his move deepest on the far side of the field. He just lacked the finishing kick of the first two, but it was a fine effort, and unsurprisingly he hardened as Derby favourite, now being a general 5-2. He'll presumably head straight to Epsom.

4. Eydon (33-1)

An impressive winner of the Feilden when shedding his maiden tag, Eydon really is a magnificent-looking colt and he travelled like he belonged at the top level here, just finding himself done for speed when it mattered on this slight drop in trip. He appears made for 1m2f and will presumably head for Chantilly for the Prix du Jockey Club, although Epsom is apparently an option.

1,000 Guineas

1. Cachet (16-1)

Ran consistently well in good company last year and resumed with a win in the Nell Gwyn. She came here an experienced professional, in contrast to some of her rivals, and put that to good use, making every yard under a well-judged ride from James Doyle. Cachet was narrowly behind Prosperous Voyage when they filled the places in the Fillies' Mile last autumn and there was little between them again. She provided George Boughey with his first Classic winner, but was the subject of a third criteria failure so will have to pass a stalls test before she runs again.

2. Prosperous Voyage (33-1)

Got a little outpaced when the winner raised the tempo but she rallied well on the climb to the line and was closing with every stride late on. A neck in front of Cachet in the Fillies' Mile, there was once again little between them. Her trainer has the Prix Saint-Alary in mind for her next.

3. Tuesday (4-1)

Is a June foal and must be one of the youngest fillies to ever take part in this race. As a sister to Minding, though, she's very well bred, and the market spoke in her favour despite her inexperience. She galloped on well towards the far rail without being able to cut back the winner's advantage, but she looks the one to take out of the race as she's surely only going to improve as the season goes on. Stepping up in distance is likely to suit, and she's 4-1 for the Oaks.

4. Zellie (12-1)

The Marcel Boussac winner didn't have too hard a race when runner-up to Malavath in the Prix Imprudence on her return. Despite being one of the first off the bridle, Zellie comprehensively reversed that form, putting in her best work at the finish. Softer ground would have probably been in her favour.

And a note on the beaten 1,000 Guineas favourite . . .

8. Tenebrism (11-4)

Impressed in coming from last to first to win the Cheveley Park Stakes on her second start, but she was advantaged by racing on a faster strip next to the rail that day. She had her stamina to prove on this step up to a mile and her cause wasn't helped by getting unbalanced running into the Dip. Ultimately it looked a bit far for her, and she could be one for the Commonwealth Cup.
