Dual winner in Ireland at 2 yrs and took a big step forward when just failing in 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown on return. Highly likeable and wouldn't dismiss now handicapping for new Australian handlers.

Didn't do herself justice in the Irish 1000 Guineas and capitalised on the drop in grade when landing 1m Navan listed race a fortnight ago from Asian Daze. Stiffer test will suit now handicapping and she could be in the mix in first-time visor.

Useful filly who won on debut and plenty of good runs in higher grades in the meantime, including when third in the Albany here next time. Goes handicapping with stamina to prove for 1m.

Three-time winner over 7f who has proven her stamina for 1m the last twice, pulling clear of the remainder when chasing home Everlasting at Navan. Went through the ring for £200,000 earlier this week (same trainer) and she's probably still fairly handicapped.

Resumed winning ways back from 10 months off in 7f Haydock fillies' novice recently, well on top at the finish. 1m will suit and she can improve now handicapping. Worth a look.

Has met with defeat just once, showing a sparkling turn of foot as she was much improved to win 7f fillies' handicap at Kempton last month from Shin Jidai. Strong traveller just as effective on turf and can go on progressing. Leading claims despite a 10 lb rise.

33/1
Promising maiden who shaped well on handicap debut switched to front-running tactics at the Curragh (1m), edged out close home by Zaynab (may well have benefited from setting a stronger tempo). Stiffer test here will suit and she can improve again for top connections.

Won 7f Chelmsford maiden in November and followed up for new trainer at Kempton in May. Didn't see out 1m after racing exuberantly enough in falsely-run listed race at Longchamp a fortnight ago and likelihood of an end-to-end gallop here will suit her better.

Very well-bred filly out of Midday and proving most progressive, taking her record to 2-3 with a bit to spare in a strong race at Doncaster (1m) on her return. One to follow and her stay in handicaps could be short.

Won first 2 starts in handicaps on AW earlier this year and while she couldn't complete the hat-trick here 6 weeks ago (1½ lengths fourth to Bellarchi) she shaped encouragingly all the same, failing to settle in front and not beaten far. Not totally ruled out off the same mark.

Verdict

INDELIBLE ran out a ready winner on her return at Doncaster and that race has a strong look to it. She could be well ahead of her mark now handicapping, entries in the Falmouth and Irish Oaks catching the eye, and she's hard to get away from. The progressive Fair Angellica is a likely contenders, while Without Words might be the pick of a strong Irish challenge.
