Kevin Ryan's horses have been flying but Inetrobil will need to improve again from her Listed success on fast ground at Haydock while fellow raider Swiss Dream found 5f on firm going against her on the Lancashire track last time and this is more her trip and ground. Fire Lily and AFTER are closely matched on their runs behind Homecoming Queen over the C&D in April and in the French 1000 Guineas last month. The latter is given the nod as she has since been beaten in the Irish version but found a mile beyond her in that grade and this looks her class. Gossamer Seed beat better fancied rivals to land a Group 3 on very testing ground at the Curragh where she was the only four-year-old. If the going turns heavy here she would prove a major threat but Cheveley Park winner Lightening Pearl is best watched on her first start since running moderately in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket.
