Pearl War is the top rated on official figures and with a comeback run at Windsor under her belt, she should finish closer here. Gladsome is getting progressively closer beaten just over a length at Ayr last month and should be thereabouts but a chance is taken on LEGAL BOND. Placed in all three starts over shorter trips, he's given the impression today's longer trip would suit and gets a chance to prove it here. Nant Saeson and Alice Rose are more exposed but Diamond Belle may do better on her reappearance.
