1. Too Darn Hot 2. Phoenix Of Spain 3. Magna Grecia

There are many questions to be answered here. Is Phoenix Of Spain the champion miler elect? Can Magna Grecia bounce back? Has Too Darn Hot trained on? All three faced off in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in which Phoenix Of Spain bounded clear of Too Darn Hot for a three-length success. I can see the runner-up giving the winner a race this time around. He was awesome as a juvenile and that run came quickly after a tough pipe-opener in the Dante.
