Qabala, impressive winner of the Nell Gwyn Stakes, is among 16 confirmations for Sunday’s Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket.

Her trainer Roger Varian has also left in Mot Juste, who was runner-up to her stablemate in the Group 3 contest over seven furlongs at Newmarket’s Craven meeting.

Aidan O’Brien has four possibles, headed by Rockfel Stakes scorer Just Wonderful, as Ireland’s champion trainer bids to register his fifth win in the race.

“Everything has gone well with Just Wonderful. It’s all systems go so far,” he said.

Fairyland, Fleeting and Hermosa complete the Ballydoyle team.

O’Brien’s son, Joseph, has a strong candidate himself in Iridessa, winner of the Fillies’ Mile in the autumn and third on her reappearance at Leopardstown.

“She’s in good shape and we will see what happens,” he said.

“It’s nice to go there with what we think is a live chance. She is working well and she had a nice run on her first run of the year.

“Hopefully we get a nice draw. We are looking forward to it.”

Sheila Lavery’s Lady Kaya, who had Iridessa back in third when taking the Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial, also stands her ground.

The other Irish contender is Skitter Scatter, now with John Oxx after a superb juvenile campaign for Patrick Prendergast that culminated in victory over Lady Kaya in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh.

Richard Hannon, who struck with 66/1 outsider Billesdon Brook last year, is represented by Star Terms.

Completing the list are Angel’s Hideaway, Antonia De Vega, Dandhu, Garrel Glen, Iconic Choice and Look Around.
