Tom Queally is hoping for a bit of luck in what the jockey describes as a ‘big year ahead’ for the unbeaten colt Frankel.

The Henry Cecil-trained three-year-old is ante-post favourite for the 2000 Guineas after winning all his four starts as a juvenile, culminating in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket in October.

‘There's a big year ahead for him. He goes into his three-year-old campaign with a totally unblemished record,’ Queally told Racing UK Radio.

‘He's top-rated along with Dream Ahead and he's trained on nicely, we think. I've seen him and he seems to have done very well.

‘For the campaign ahead you'd hope for a bit of luck and if he maintains anything like the record he's had until now it looks like we'll have a fun year.’
