Forecasts

Albigna (1/1), Thundering Nights (7/2), Lovelier (9/2), So Wonderful (15/2), Kiss For A Jewel (11/1), Epona Plays (14/1), Lady Wannabe (22/1), Simply A Breeze (40/1), Come September (40/1), Harriet's Force (66/1)

Verdict

ALBIGNA came up short when a short-priced favourite for the 1000 Guineas here but had impressed as a high-class prospect prior to that so is well worth giving another chance to after a break. Aidan O'Brien has an excellent record in this event so his improving Lovelier is much respected. Kiss For A Jewel and Thundering Nights look the pick of the rest.

  1. ALBIGNA (IRE)
  2. LOVELIER (IRE)
  3. KISS FOR A JEWEL (IRE)
