Donn McClean weekend review: Siskin storms to Guineas glory and Peaceful delivers for Aidan O'Brien

Classic is a miler. Vatican City ran a big race in the Guineas. Aidan O'Brien's horse finished second. Lope Y Fernandez showed a smart turn of foot. Sinawann ran well for a long way. Peaceful won the Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guines on Sunday. Donn McClean reviews the weekend. He also reviews Siskin's Guineaas success. It's a pity that the St James's Palace Stakes comes up so quickly after the Irish Guinas this year. Ger Lyons mentioned the Sussex Stake as an option on Friday. There are other options too, like Prix Jacques le Marois, Prix du Moulin, Queen Elizabeth II St.akes, or Prix de la Foret.

The Tote Scurry Handicap would normally be all about English sprinters but one I like down the bottom of weights is Ice Cold In Alex, trained by Ken Condon. He gets in off 8-5 and with a kind draw, should go really well. He's a hold-up-horse who was very unlucky when second over 7f back at the Curragh on Derby weekend and he's a past course winner…

ONE OF THE main questions going into Sunday's Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas was whether or not Hermosa could be as good at The Curragh as she had been when she won the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket three weeks earlier. She wasn't. She was better. There were parallels with Newmarket. Qabala lined up against her and Fairyland lined up against her and…
