SUMOTO, who had been the 6-1 second favourite for the 1,000 Guineas, was withdrawn from the betting yesterday after injuring a leg. Her trainer, Geoff Wragg, said: 'The horse was lame in her near hind on Thursday night.' He may make an announcement after seeing X-ray pictures of the injury today.
Sayyedati, who was beaten by Sumoto on the latter's only start, now heads William Hill's betting at 9-4. They then bet 12-1 Elizabeth Bay and Bashayer and 14-1 Dayflower (from 33-1). Dayflower's prominence is due to a fine workout under Michael Roberts in Dubai, where she is completing her Classic preparation. 'Dayflower looks spectacular. She leaves the rest way behind,' he said.
