Hidden Pearl is 2lb better off than when behind over this trip at Nottingham but Chris Wall’s charge should confirm the form. Pax Britannica wasn’t suited by the softer going last time at Chester but was engaged yesterday at Chelmsford. MOONLIT NIGHT has changed stables since second over course and distance in June but wasn’t beaten far on his debut for new connections at Thirsk and this looks easier. Any market support for Overthink should be noted as he’s been lightly raced and gelded since last seen.
