Considering her pedigree, Devotion has proved a big disappointment so far and found little off the bridle when attempting to make all over C&D three weeks ago. She looks worth taking on today with JEMIMA'S PEARL as Ger Lyons' filly had a nice introduction over 6f at the Curragh and will be better over this extra furlong. Sophies Echo showed little on debut at Down Royal while newcomers Pale Orchid and Tiffilia may just need the experience here.
