"Many Photos" - Charlie Hills has high hopes for 2000 Guineas contender Phoenix Of Spain this season

CHARLIE HILLS has high hopes for smart colt Phoenix Of Spain as he prepares him for a crack at the Guineas.

Last season’s Acomb Stakes winner finished the year in good form with a second to Too Darn Hot in the Champagne Stakes before filling the same spot behind Magna Grecia in the Vertem Futurity Trophy.

Hills is yet to decide whether Phoenix Of Spain heads to the QIPCO 2000 Guineas or the French equivalent the week after.

He said: “We’ll see where are in the next 10 days or so.

“He is in the English Guineas, obviously, and he won’t run in a trial. If he is going to go to Newmarket he’ll go straight there.

“If we feel he needs a bit more time then we could look at the French Guineas, and later on the Irish Guineas (Curragh, May 25) is a possibility.

“He is in the Dante (York, May 16) as well, and we feel he could get a mile and a quarter, but there are some big mile races to go for first.

“Looking at his form, I think he’s right up there with the best of the three-year-old colts at this stage.

“Physically, he’s done really well and he looks well.”
