So You Think achieved a rare double when he won the Tatts Gold Cup for the second consecutive year, and he won it in style.

Famous Name was 6 lengths behind in second - enough said except perhaps Famous Name wants it longer.

On Saturday the Greenlands Stakes went to Tiddliwinks for his second consecutive win at around 8/1 which seemed generous. Jimmy Styles was second at 16/1, a head in front of the The Reaper on the same quote. Favourite Fire Lily had every chance, and Crusade was eased out of it.

After the withdrawal of Parish Hall, the 2000 Guineas was wide open and it the O'Brien runner Power who got the verdict - he wasn't in the top quotes on Friday but went off at 5/1. Foxtrot Romeo was second on 33/1 with Reply 3/4 length back and early leader Daddy Long Legs a neck away fourth.

Hermeval was one paged and Takar just flat. Born To Sea was fifth.

The Equestrian Stakes was no problem for Emulous, with 33/1 shot One Spirit second, Alanza third and Law On The Range fourth.

Sunday saw a big upset in the 1000 Guineas with Mick Channon's Samitar on 12/1 getting a clear victory over Ishvana 33/1 and Princess Sinead 25/1. All the early favourites failed to flourish.
