Verdict

Greycious Anna appears to be running into form again and Harlem Nights was beaten under a length at Newmarket, though has yet to win on Turf. Pearl Eye seeks a third course and distance victory of the year and a second at Newmarket in June has also worked out well with the winner scoring again at Chepstow on Thursday, though she is closely matched with Pol Roger on latest running. NO BARRIER found only one too good at Doncaster last month and went even closer to a first success at Nottingham nine days ago. She can enjoy a change of luck here, despite a pound rise in the ratings. Get Stuck In won after a break at Chelmsford in March but has been off the track again since.
