In depth
Verdict
Knotty Ash Girl showed a fair level of ability when in the frame in all four maiden starts as a juvenile and should make an impact at this level if fit for her belated return. Taggerty has place claims but Penny Pass looks moderate and ex-American performer Darling Lover is hard to assess. In a weak event, it would be no surprise if Boru Boru proved good enough to make a winning debut and is one to note in the market.
