Verdict

PEARL SPECTRE is an intriguing visitor on the back of his recent Lingfield success, that looked a better contest on paper and, while some of these are in decent form, he may be able to grab the lion's share of the prize money for export. Geological could scarcely be more consistent but has another 5lb to contend with this time while fellow last time out winner Shannon Soul is up 7lb and is by no means trusted to fire a second time. The likeable Split The Atom scored his sixth course win recently and is not passed over easily while Guanabara Bay has winning form here this year as well but ran poorly on latest visit.
