Easy Ticket is bound to be popular with backers following his win at Haydock earlier this month and David Brown's colt has not been out of the first two home in four outings so far but a 9lb rise for that latest win looks harsh and a better bet seems to be GOLD PEARL. Stuart Williams has his team in good heart at present and the son of Henny Hughes should appreciate being dropped into a nursery having been highly tried in the Gimcrack last time. The selection has the beating of Richard Hannon's Invincible Ridge on running at Windsor previously and a bigger threat may come from Mark Johnston's Satin Love, who has been highly tried in his last two starts in group races. The consistent Captain Dimitrios and lightly raced Regal Approval are others to consider but it is Gold Pearl that gets the nod.
