In depth
Verdict
This can go to Secret Pride, who showed plenty of promise on her debut behind the useful Illustria. A half-sister to Triple Joy and Reef Diver she holds an entry in the Group 1 Meon Valley Stud Fillies Mile and is clearly well regarded. Geoff Wragg normally has one or two nice fillies and Frieda Kahlo could well be another. She holds an entry in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes and is worth keeping an eye on regarding the future. Stormont went off third favourite for a maiden at Headquarters, and only just lost out in a photo to the well regarded filly Queen's Lodge. She is sure to have improved for the experience and can make her presence felt.
