HOT favourite Churchill is the headline act as 10 were declared for the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday.

Aidan O'Brien's colt looked a top class prospect in the making last year as he dominated the juvenile division rounding off his season with a win in the Dewhurst Stakes.

O'Brien can also rely on Lancaster Bomber and Spirit Of Valor.

Godolphin have three representatives in Saeed bin Suroor's Dream Castle and Top Score while Richard Hannon saddles Barney Roy.

Hannon also runs Larchmont Lad.

Martyn Meade saddles his Craven winner Eminent with Andre Fabre's Al Wukair and James Tate's Law And Order completing the field which is the smallest since 1998.

Rivet and Peace Envoy were the two taken out at the final declaration stage.
