The Guineas Festival preview | Saturday and Sunday previews with Andy Holding

George Elek is joined by Andy Holding to preview Saturday's cards at Newmarket ahead of the 1000 and 2000 Guineas.

The guys kick off the Fillies' and Mares' race at 1.15 on Saturday, all eyes will be on odds-on favourite Flotus in this one who Andy thinks could go on to run in the Commonwealth Cup. He's keen on her to win the opener. The Heritage Handicap is covered which looks a really open looking race, Asjad currently heads the market at 15/2, Jumby is the one Andy likes the look of with William Buick onboard.

At 15:40 it's the big one, the Qipco 2000 Guineas. Native Trail is the hot favourite to win this year's renewal for William Buick and Charlie Appleby, Andy has his eyes on Eydon and Luxembourg at E/W prices with Native Trail currently a best price of 5/4. To wrap us Saturday's selections Andy likes Contact in the handicap at 16:15 and Manaccan in the final race of the day.

On to Sunday and Andy think Red Verdon could provide some value in the Heritage Handicap at a current best price of 25/1, but thinks favourite Valleu Forge could well be the one to be on.

Tenebrism currently holds favouritism in the 1000 Guineas on Sunday in what looks like a high standard of renewal this year. Frankie Dettori rides Tuesday with man of the moment William Buick on Wild Beauty. Andy is keen on two runners at e/w for the showpiece event, Malavath and Ameynah.
