Here's an oddity which you Field Of Gold fans must face before placing your bets for Saturday's Betfred 2,000 Guineas . The favourite for this Classic represents a powerful trainer who has never yet got his hands on this particular trophy. John Gosden has had no problem with the other four British Classics and has been winning top-class mile races for more than 40 years. He has been champion trainer six times, most recently in 2023, after Thady joined him on the licence. Why should the 2,000 Guineas have been an especially difficult race for him to win? Arguably, it's a shade early in the season for a trainer who likes to show his younger horses some patience. Field Of Gold was in shape early enough to win the Craven with some style. Mind you, he's not the first Gosden runner to win a Guineas trial impressively. On the other hand, Gosden Sr could not be accused of taking a blunderbuss approach to the 2,000. Though he's been trying to win it for a long time, he's only had a total of 13 runners and nothing since 2019. Here are the five runners who've fared best for him so far in this challenging race: 5th Muhtarram 1992 It just shows how long John Gosden has been competing in the best races that he had Willie Carson aboard this 25-1 shot, back in the days when Neil Kinnock was Labour leader and Britain was in the Exchange Rate Mechanism. These were the glory days of Flat race jockeys, Lester Piggott winning on Rodrigo De Triano, while Pat Eddery, Steve Cauthen, Walter Swinburn, Mick Kinane, Michael Roberts and Frankie Dettori were also involved. Little was expected of Muhtarram, who'd only been fourth in the Craven, but he'd have gone pretty close with a clear run. Carson had a tough time of it, repeatedly failing to find daylight up the rail while Piggott sailed breezily forwards up the middle. Stepped up to 1m2f, Muhtarram won a couple of Group 1s, including a defeat of Opera House in the Irish Champion. He also beat Ezzoud in the Prince of Wales when it was still a Group 2.

Roaring Lion had been beaten nine lengths in the Craven, for which he was presumably not ready, and started at 14-1 in the Guineas. The grey was last off the bridle and there was a moment, just over a furlong out, when it looked like he was making a winning move. But then the petrol gauge was empty and he hung over to race alone up the stands' rail while Saxon Warrior duked it out with Tip Two Win in the middle.

He couldn't win his Craven but was only just pipped by Twice Over in what was clearly a prep-run. The result was that he was sent off at just 4-1 in a field of 15 for the Guineas but he never quite got into it after being settled out the back by Jimmy Fortune for the first half of the race. Though he was able to find a way through the traffic a few lanes off the rail, he couldn't join the argument that was raging between Henrythenavigator and New Approach; indeed, he couldn't quite get past the 100-1 shot Stubbs Art for third.

The pair were again first and second when the Breeders' Cup Classic was run on a Pro-Ride surface that autumn. 3rd Anshan 1990 Gosden Sr must have got quite a thrill from his very first 2,000 Guineas runner, a whopping 35 years ago. Anshan went straight to the front and stayed there until the final quarter-mile, when Tirol and the hotly fancied Machiavellian went past. With Swinburn up for the first time, Anshan kept on gamely for third. He'd won the Free Handicap (which no longer exists) at the Craven meeting and was a 6-1 shot for the Classic. It was as good a race as Anshan ever ran. He couldn't win above Group 3 level but became an excellent jumps stallion, siring Asian Maze and Last Instalment. 2nd Kingman 2014 Here he is, the one who got away. In an eight-race career, Kingman's only defeat came in the 2,000 Guineas, when Night Of Thunder beat him half a length despite odds of 40-1. You wouldn't have thought it possible if you watched the Greenham, in which the classy Kingman beat his chestnut rival by four and a half lengths. It's not as though everything went beautifully for Night Of Thunder at Newmarket; somehow, he managed to quicken past Kingman while hanging across the width of the track, away from the runner-up. Night of Thunder: winner of the 2,000 Guineas from Kingman (near) and Australia Credit: Mark Cranham (racingpost.com/photos) It was a funny-looking race, with two groups split wide apart for most of the way. Perhaps Kingman hit the front too soon, entering the final furlong as he tackled a mile for the first time. But he had no trouble with the distance in his subsequent starts and got revenge over Night Of Thunder at Royal Ascot. It's too bad he couldn't be at his best for the Guineas and the memory must still rankle his trainer. Perhaps Field Of Gold can banish those bad feelings on Saturday. Who Am I? Today's clue: "I was born in a year that a French-trained horse won the Derby but I am from County Kildare in Ireland and once trained a horse to finish second at Glorious Goodwood." It's the start of a new week in our 'Who Am I?' quiz, based around a different racing personality each week. We'll give you a new clue every day, with the answer revealed on Friday. Think you know who it is? Email frontrunner@racingpost.com to say who. I'll give a mention to everyone who gets it right. Sarah Thurnell was last week's winner, being the first to recognise Bryan Smart as the Yorkshireman who teamed up with Cash Asmussen for his first Group 1 success. Three things to look out for today 1. A big week for the Gosden team starts with the return of a pair of three-year-olds, both of which hold entries in the Epsom Classics. Go Go Boots , named after her white forelegs, was a €230,000 breeze-up purchase in May and finished at speed to score on her debut in December. She returns to Lingfield for a 1m2f novice race (3.45) in hopes of justifying a place in the Oaks. This evening, in the middle of the Windsor card, Derby entrant Tycoon seeks to break his duck in a 1m2f maiden (6.00) . He showed promise when third at Sandown in August in a race won by subsequent Greenham hero Jonquil. In a weird echo of the 2014 Guineas, Tycoon is by Kingman while Go Go Boots is by Night Of Thunder.

The opener at Naas (5.05) this evening has some history as an early identifier of quality juveniles, having been won by Fairyland and Alpha Centauri, both then placed in the Albany at Royal Ascot en route to winning Group 1s. If there's a filly of that class in this field, Simply Astounding looks the most likely candidate, the Aidan O'Brien-trained newcomer being a Wootton Bassett half-sister to National Stakes winner Henry Longfellow and just the second foal out of Minding to make the racecourse.

It may only be Monday but there's a Listed race on the Naas card, the 5f Woodlands Stakes (6.40) , which brings the seasonal return of My Mate Alfie . Now four, Ger Lyons' charge was a sprinter on the up at the end of last season, winning three on the bounce, including a Group 3 at the Curragh. This will be his first shot at the minimum distance and it is also a big step back in trip for Big Gossey , who surprised fans of Camille Pissarro in the 7f Gladness last time.
