Racing:  Aidan O'Brien's two runners Rumplestiltskin and Race For The Stars head a field of 13 declared for the Stan James 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on Sunday.

The O'Brien-trained Kamarinskaya was one of five fillies taken out at the final declaration stage. The others were Abigail Pett, Mostaqeleh, Saabiq and Silver Touch.

All the leading contenders stood their ground including the Mick Channon-trained Flashy Wings.

Silca's Sister, formerly with Channon, represents Godolphin while Brian Meehan saddles Cheveley Park Stakes winner Donna Blini.
