In depth
Verdict
Middle East Pearl has failed to figure since an 8lb rise for winning at Chelmsford in April and Darma has failed to elicit any sympathy from the handicapper having been placed on several occasions since winning her maiden back in October. STOCKING (NAP) should be sharper for a recent run at Windsor and ran well at Kempton off a similar mark at the end of last year. Roger Varian's filly may well be up to landing this and is preferred to recent Lingfield winner Most Tempting and Catterick scorer Lydiate Lady.
