The vote goes to PEARL OF QATAR, who has been holding her form well and bagged handicaps over C&D and at Hamilton in April/May. A slow start was no help at Catterick recently and she will take some stopping if quicker off the blocks this time. Avebury looks dangerous judged on her effort here last month and Never In Paris will also be in with a shout if the new headgear does the trick.
