      Verdict

      Pearl Nation has been in fine form at Southwell but a 7lb rise for an earlier win proved beyond him last time and ENERGIA FLAVIO is just preferred. Marco Botti's charge began life in this country off a 9lb higher mark and drops down a grade after a third at Lingfield. He has the beating of Silverware, Santefisio and Haaf A Sixpence, though the latter has yet to show his best form since returning from an absence and is capable of going close on his day.
