Verdict
Not much form to go on here but Pearl Nation must have a decent chance after his second at Wolverhampton, though he races on Turf for the first time today. We just prefer MACCHIARA, however, who produced a much-improved performance in a hood at Folkestone last month. She can give Silvestre De Sousa a quick double. Ripon fourth Thats Molly may be best of the rest though it would be no surprise if one of the newcomers got involved in what looks an ordinary maiden.
