Pat’s Pearl has been thoroughly consistent and finished a length ahead of ASHJAN last time. Both are likely to be involved again here, but preference is for the latter, who could have more improvement to come for his new yard. Tintown Robin needs some help from the handicapper, as does Statistical, while The Horsechesnut has failed to complete in six of his last seven starts and Iusetaluvheronce looks out of sorts. Shaw’s Cross hasn’t shown much so far but may offer more now that he steps up in trip.
