Verdict
NEW PEARL never figured in last week's Coventry Stakes at Ascot but he's good enough to land this on his earlier form which includes a debut victory at Newmarket. He should have too much for Jubilee Games, who got off the mark at Musselburgh in May and Southwell winner Somethingaboutmary, well beaten in Listed company last time. Newcomer Titus Titan is a half-brother to Dee Stakes winner and Derby third Astrology and is unlikely to match today's rivals for speed.
