FormscanBy John O'Riordan - THE GREAT UNKNOWN can complete an opening race double for the Henry De Bromhead stable. The Walk In The Park mare showed enough on two starts against geldings earlier in the campaign to suggest she can make it third time lucky under rules. Having a first outing against her own sex, the five-year-old looks well placed to make the most of this opportunity. Similar to the earlier maiden, her biggest threat could come from within the De Bromhead camp. Garde La Peche easily beat a subsequent dual hurdles winner on her sole point-to-point start and something was clearly amiss when the six-year-old failed to fire on her racecourse debut at Limerick over Christmas. Former French flat winner Got Glory is another capable of much better. The Willie Mullins-trained mare was considered smart enough to make her Irish debut in Grade 1 company last April.
