11/10

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, below form sixth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Strong claims on her best form and looks the stable first string on jockey bookings.

Forecasts

Unknown Pleasures (11/10), Spiritofthenorth (11/10), Al Qaasim (3/1), Socks Off (9/1), Ethel Rose (22/1), Poetic Deed (200/1)

UNKNOWN PLEASURES was a touch disappointing for Jessica Harrington last term but should still have enough quality to make a winning British debut if her new yard has her tuned up. Stablemate Al Qaasim is a danger and Spiritofthenorth could belatedly get his head in front if fully applying himself.
