Verdict

Hard to rule out any completely, but PULCHERIA was strong in the market ahead of her debut in a minor event at Leicester and seemed too inexperienced to do herself justice, finishing last of 3. She's likely capable of much better and is just preferred to Ephrata, who also needed the experience on debut. Zestful is the most interesting newcomer on paper.

  1. PULCHERIA (IRE)
  2. EPHRATA
  3. ZESTFUL
