This looks a strong renewal with the Epsom heroine Qualify unlikely to be her stable's leading player. She had little chance against the colts in the Derby here subsequently but back amongst the fillies it would be no surprise to see her in contention again. Words is probably the main hope of Aidan O'Brien this time as she overcame subsequent winner Carla Bianca in the Munster Oaks at Cork on only her second outing. She'll improve further and will take some beating but the selection has to be CURVY. David Wachman's Galileo filly has made remarkable progress from landing a Navan handicap on a mark of 72 and her victory over a high-class field in the Ribblesdale at Ascot, when Gretchen was almost six lengths behind, suggests a victory at the highest level is well within her compass.
