Oisin Murphy feels QIPCO 1,000 Guineas contender Alcohol Free will improve from her seasonal debut when she seeks Classic glory at Newmarket.
The daughter of No Nay Never won a Newbury Group 3 by a short-head earlier this month, over the distance of seven furlongs.
Her first try at the mile comes in Sunday's big race, when she will face ante-post gamble Santa Barbara from Aidan O'Brien's yard.
Murphy, who is seeking a third straight victory in the Flat jockeys’ championship this season, said: “I was really thrilled with Alcohol Free at Newbury.
