PEARL EYE pulled clear of the rest when an unlucky loser at Chester recently and, granted better luck-in-running, the 4-y-o may well gain compensation here with conditions no problem. Next on the list is Ebt's Guard, who is just about the pick at the weights and he ran well for a long way in the Cambridgeshire on Saturday. The unexposed Tareefa has to be feared, too, while Monkey Island could have a part to play if handling the ground and Thunder Road is not without each-way hope.
