Verdict

FALLEN ANGEL was disappointing on her return in the Middleton Stakes but the form that saw her win 3 Group 1s last season would have her levels above some smart opponents here and the percentage call is to side with her again. The unexposed Alobayyah is highly respected after her Royal Ascot success, with the returning Calendar Girl also of interest on the back of a positive juvenile season.

3	Irish 1000 Guineas winner in 2024 and added 3 Group 1 prizes (all confined to own sex) to her tally last year. Easy to back and failed to capitalise on an easy lead when 4½ lengths last of 4 in the Middleton Stakes at York (10.3f, good) on return but she'll be very tough to beat if back to her best. 1st Pick 3 Fallen Angel Jockey: James Doyle Trainer: K.

1	Arguably shaped best from a long way back when third in an Ascot handicap on return and more than confirmed that promise when beating 23 rivals in the Kensington Palace Stakes at the Royal meeting there 52 days ago. More than worth her place at this level and she can improve again. 2nd Pick 1 Alobayyah Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: William Haggas J: Tom Marquand T: William Haggas	89	-	-	-	17%

9	Made a winning start at Newbury last summer prior to taking her record to 2-3 in a valuable 21-runner sales race at Doncaster. Successful step up in class when following up in the Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket (7f) when last seen. Off 10 months since but should have more to offer at 3 yrs. 3rd Pick 9 Calendar Girl Jockey: Callum Rodriguez Trainer: Owen Burrows J: Callum Rodriguez T: Owen Burrows	84	-	-	-	15%
