In depth
Verdict
Pearlita had been in decent form before struggling at Uttoxeter last time and won at Stratford in May. Arboretum included a win over 2m4f here in his earlier double but is now 13lb higher than his latest success. AMBER FLUSH returned a shock 66/1 winner at Worcester last time but this looks easier and she’s taken to go in again despite a 6lb rise with Richard Johnson taking over the reins. Drive On Locky is not badly treated on last year’s winning form but hasn’t raced since February.
