ANNA'S PEARL was only beaten half-a-length in a Group 1 race at Saint-Cloud around this time last year and it will be disappointing if he can't win a race like this off a mark of 92, though he's struggled since landing his maiden at Goodwood in June. Party Royal is only a couple of pounds higher than winning narrowly at Pontefract three weeks ago and should go close again while conditions won't bother the evergreen Osteopathic Remedy, who gets on well with 5lb claimer Connor Beasley. Myboyalfie was harshly raised 5lb after finishing second at Goodwood but is another will handle underfoot conditions and he looks the pick of the remainder on recent form.
