Verdict

PEARL OF QATAR included a course and distance success in an earlier double. She remains 7lb higher than her latest success but drops back down in class and today’s opposition all have something to prove. Jaariyah folded tamely at Wolverhampton having attempted to make all while Never In Paris is fitted with blinkers after another poor effort at Carlisle. Avebury finished last of eight at Nottingham on her handicap debut and the remaining pair have little to recommend them.
