A representative field for the One Thousand Guineas, rather than one with a standout performer in it, with nearly all the important form lines in Britain and Ireland represented, and it was a very fair test on the day, the field racing up the centre - rather confirming that any advantage held by the first 2 in the Two Thousand Guineas the day before was to do with pace rather than track position - though as 2 slightly separate groups, the winner and runner-up heading their respective groups, the pace set by the winner one that drew out stamina, making her a deserved victor on the day, just a stronger stayer than the runner-up, the form probably a bit below the standard for the race, though reasons to expect the first 3 to continue to do well at the head of their division.

HERMOSA (IRE) her stable's third string on paper, had been beaten in Group 1 company on her final 2 outings at 2 yrs, but neither race drew out her stamina in quite the way this did and she showed improved form under a really positive ride to make the breakthrough at the highest level; made all, ridden over 2f out, tackled 1f out, stayed on strongly, well on top finish; she may go to the Irish Guineas next, but she would surely be better suited by a step up in trip and the Oaks seems a better fit, her full siblings all winners over the Oaks trip, though her sister Hydrangea didn't step up to that distance until Champions day, when she showed her best form in winning the Fillies & Mares - Hermosa might well be able to follow up in the Irish Guineas, but further improvement is much more likely at Epsom.

LADY KAYA (IRE) ran her best race, a very different type to the winner, much more about speed than stamina, clearly effective at 1m and likely to be a big player in the Irish Guineas and, particularly, the Coronation Stakes, if connections keep her at this trip, but also likely to be effective back over shorter; close up, tanked along, ridden over 1f out, kept on, not quicken final 50 yds; will continue to give a good account.

QABALA (USA) well backed, over 1f longer trip, clearly ran well upped in grade, though she didn't quite have the experience for this sort of test, taking time to get the hang of a well-run race in a larger field, doing her best work in the last quarter of the race, the effort telling in the final few yards; held up, ran green, labouring halfway, headway over 2f out, challenged inside final 1f, not quicken final 50 yds; she'll be more streetwise another time and is capable of better again, likely to be a player in the top fillies races through the summer.

ANGEL'S HIDEAWAY (IRE) over 1f longer trip, excelled herself, finishing much closer to the third than in the Nell Gwyn, looking well suited by the run of the race, comfortable with the good pace virtually all the way; in touch, travelled well, tracked pace 3f out, ridden 2f out, not quicken final 1f; she's in the Commonwealth Cup, but clearly on this showing further good entries might well come at 1m.

FAIRYLAND (IRE) successful on 4 of her 5 starts at 2 yrs, including here in the Cheveley Park on her final one, ran creditably after 7 months off, seeming not quite to stay the 2f longer trip, a return to sprinting very much on the cards (entered in the King's Stand and Commonwealth Cup); waited with, headway 3f out, challenged over 3f out, faded inside final 1f.

JUST WONDERFUL (USA) ran creditably after 6 months off, looking surprisingly ill at ease on the track given she'd run her best race when winning the Rockfel here over 7f; held up, off the bridle before most, headway when hampered over 2f out, kept on well final 1f, looked awkward, nearest at the finish; she clearly retains all her ability, may just have been rusty and could well make more impact at this level another day.

ICONIC CHOICE ran well upped in grade, emerging comfortably best of those that had contested the Fred Darling on much softer ground last time, a search for a pattern success likely to be her programme for the summer; raced off the pace, labouring over 3f out, wandered 2f out, kept on well inside final 1f, never on terms.

IRIDESSA (IRE) had beaten the winner here last autumn in the Fillies' Mile, suited by the emphasis on stamina that day, but she couldn't repeat the trick, lacking a turn of foot when it came to the crunch and already in need of further, as her pedigree suggests; handy, ridden over 2f out, not quicken.

LOOK AROUND was an optimistic runner, based on her effort behind the favourite in the Nell Gwyn, but she ran at least as well as could have been expected upped in grade, without being fully competitive; slowly into stride, raced off the pace, labouring 3f out.

DANDHU runner-up to Just Wonderful in the Rockefel here, wasn't in the same form as last time, comfortably beaten by the runner-up that day, on the back foot from an early stage; slowly into stride, in rear, ridden over 3f out, made no impression.

STAR TERMS was found out in better company, paying for giving chase to the winner in the latter stages; chased leaders, ridden over 3f out, weakened 2f out; she could yet find improvement over middle distances.

GARREL GLEN after 6 months off over 1f longer trip, seemed to excel herself, though never in the hunt and perhaps flattered; raced off the pace, labouring before halfway.

MOT JUSTE (USA) was well held over 1f longer trip, the one runner from the Nell Gwyn not to build on that effort, though she would obviously have done better had she not been taken out of the race (albeit in trouble already at the time); waited with, ridden when badly hampered over 2f out, not recover.

SKITTER SCATTER (USA) who had beaten the first and second comprehensively in the Moyglare Stud Stakes, disappointed after 8 months off, running no sort of a race really, beaten well before the longer trip became an issue; handy, ridden over 3f out, outpaced soon after.

FLEETING (IRE) the longest-priced of her stable's quartet of runners, ran no sort of race after 8 months off, and while her May Hill win had suggested she was more an Oaks than a Guineas filly, this suggested a back-to-the-drawing-board filly; in touch, labouring badly soon after halfway.
