STAR PEARL stands out in this as she posted a much improved effort when headed close home at Nottingham on her seasonal return. Roger Varian's filly looks some way ahead of these rivals on that showing and gets the vote. Red Red Wine showed little progress when fourth at Haydock on her second outing but Gregori is expected to finish closer in this company after a debut sixth at Newbury. Kempton fourth Quest For More steps back up in trip for his reappearance and could prove best of the rest.
