Chaldean had just under two lengths to spare over Hi Royal in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. The latter, who hung badly left in the closing stages, was then beaten just under three lengths behind Paddington at the Curragh. Andrew Balding's charge then had no answer to Paddington in the St James's Palace Stakes, when CHARYN, who had been well beaten at Newmarket, was only a neck behind. The winner's yard is represented by Meditate. Disappointing in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, she redeemed her reputation behind Tahiya at the Curragh but didn't look happy out in front behind that winner in the Coronation Stakes. Charyn could prove the each-way value in a race that should be run to suit.
