FEARLESS GIRL has improved with each of her three runs so is taken to open her account after an eye-catching fifth at the Curragh recently. Dermot Weld's newcomer Apricot Rose is greatly respected, especially if the market speaks in her favour, while I Know I Can is another who is sure to make his presence felt.
