Verdict
Presenting Pearl was a shade disappointing at Fakenham after a debut second at Market Rasen in the spring but looks to have every chance of getting off the mark here. Lady Vesta has only found one too good in both starts and should also be in the firing-line but we’ll give one final chance to GRANIA O’MALLEY, beaten a total of three-and-a-quarter lengths in her three runs to date and deserving of a first victory. Cora Sundrop and Nalinka De La Mare have NH pedigrees so are worth a market check.
