HEADWAY (Havana Gold) is a possible classic hope and a tasty 20/1 shot for the Qipco 2000 Guineas this year. This follows his exhilarating last to first victory on his all-weather debut in the £45,000 Listed 32Red Spring Cup for three-year-olds at Lingfield Park on Saturday.

The William Haggas-trained colt, owned by The Royal Ascot Racing Club, was beaten a head by Rajasinghe in last season’s Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and was third in the Group 2 Al Basti Equiworld Gimcrack Stakes. While he has yet to tackle a mile, his connections believe it will suit him well.
