    Quite a few 2YOs having a crack in the last few years George due to that weight allowance - only Lyric Fantasy (1992) and Kingsgate Native (2007) have won as 2YOs in the last 30 years though. Coolemore tried it with Requinto last year - he carried 8st 1lb into 13th, beaten 9 lengths. I think it's a massive ask for a 2YO, despite WFA, and you'll need a really good, well forward type to even have a chance. I remember Lyric Fantasy, absolute machine but they ruined her trying to make her a Guineas horse
