Pearl Noir landed a maiden here in December, his only win in 28 starts. It's been some time since AMENABLE won at the track but he scored at Beverley only last month and can race off a much lower mark back on this surface. He gets a token vote in a poor handicap as a host of others have claims on recent placed efforts here. That list includes Very First Blade, Novalist and Flow Chart while the veteran Doctor Hilary won off a 5lb lower mark over track and trip in April. Coach Montana went close at Wolverhampton last time but hasn't won since 2012.
