ALBIGNA came up short when a short-priced favourite for the 1000 Guineas here but had impressed as a high-class prospect prior to that so is well worth giving another chance to after a break. Aidan O'Brien has an excellent record in this event so his improving Lovelier is much respected. Kiss For A Jewel and Thundering Nights look the pick of the rest.
