A quartet of potential improvers from Aidan O'Brien's yard ensure this will be a tough start for punters. Elizabethofaragon may be best of those four today while newcomers Astadash, Illusory, Lugnaquilla and Shamiyna command further inspection in the betting. Brinjal is very likely to improve for the Ger Lyons/Colin Keane team but the one that has achieved most is UNKNOWN PLEASURES. Twice second at Cork, she ran a fine race in the Group 3 Park Stakes at the Curragh in September when last out and will take halting if coming forward again as a three-year-old.
