Verdict
PULSATING won at Wolverhampton five days ago and carries 6lb extra. She was beaten in this lower grade here before that but still finished ahead of Olaudah and La Fortuna and can go in again. Naralsaif is getting closer to winning and finished runner-up at Wolverhampton three weeks ago while Irish Sky may improve now handicapping for the first time but has a wide draw to contend with. Black Truffle has been placed off today’s mark recently but is better over further nowadays.
