DARK ROSE ANGEL was beaten only a head by Laurens in the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster last month and has strong claims on collateral form. She finished in front of Nyaleti on that occasion and the latter subsequently finished ahead of third-placed Gavota in the Rockfel over track and trip. Roger Charlton’s filly also beat Hikmaa, Elizabeth Bennet and Butterscotch here while Anna Nerium got the better of Special Purpose and One Minute to land a Group 3 at Salisbury. I Can Fly made a winning start in maiden company at Dundalk for Aidan O’Brien and makes most appeal of those stepping up in class including Expressiy, Herecomesthesun and Altyn Orda.
