Verdict
Roger Varian remains in fine form and ANGEL POWER (NAP) will take some beating. He would have been on a five-timer but for being disqualified at Longchamp and has only had eight starts so should progress again. Create Belief is another arriving in top form having followed her victory here with a very impressive success in the Sandringham at Ascot though her three victories to date have been on testing ground. Insinuendo, a Group 3 winner at Naas in May, did even better when a close fourth in the Group 1 Pretty Polly.
