In depth
Verdict
Valeria Messalina, a Group 3 winner at Cork last summer, shares top rating and her two runs this campaign have been at Group 3 level. PEARLS GALORE progressed markedly last summer, landing a maiden, a handicap then finished runner-up in a Gowran Group 3 that couldn't have worked out much better. She'll be ready after last month's comeback and can strike a blow for the older horses against the younger generation. More Beautiful isn't a stable star but she's kept good company and looks better than stable companion Elizabethan R while the consistent Soul Search looks place material again.
