Verdict
PEARL OF QATAR ended a long losing run on Turf when scoring on the fast ground at Ayr. She’s penalised for this but can go close again. Tanasoq drops down in class but has done most of his winning over the minimum trip while Yukon Mission is regularly placed off similar marks but has yet to win. Kilconquhar has won just the once so far and that was on the all-weather.
