Description
# ✨ Feature Request
Iris 3 included some significant improvements to `guess_bounds`. We should evaluate whether some or all of the capabilities from the [ANTS wrapper](https://github.com/MetOffice/ANTS/blob/dbda2a48738af462776ad85da7ea308a6168a703/lib/ants/utils/coord.py#L64) are now redundant and can be removed.
## Context
Existing unittests provide a good safety net for checking no loss of functionality. Note that I think iris and ANTS have different capabilites around guessing bounds for time coordinates - it may be that we want to preserve existing ANTS behaviour and gain the extra iris capability.

Research direction
Start with the existing unit tests for ants.utils.coord.guess_bounds and compare their coverage with Iris 3's equivalent implementation. Review the linked ANTS wrapper, paying particular attention to time-coordinate behavior. Done means redundant wrapper functionality is removed only where safe, retained ANTS behavior is preserved, and the existing tests continue to pass.
