I've been desperate for it to restart since Harbour Law shocked punters by landing the St Leger last September for Laura Mongan, so much so that in the meantime I started studying the form Stateside almost religiously – all eyes will be on the speedy Jerry Hollendorfer-trained Unique Bella in the Santa Anita Oaks on April 8 ahead of a potential Kentucky Derby tilt.
