Verdict

Entertaining Ben and Pearl Noir will ensure a good gallop in this. The former makes his debut for his successful small Newmarket yard and a rider well worth his 7lb claim has been booked to ride. Pearl Noir ran a huge race at Thirsk last week when he had nothing to race with. He bids to follow up last year's success in this off a 5lb lower mark. Mighty Zip and Roy's Legacy are both recent winners who are holding their form well. MININGGOLD has dropped in the weights marginally above that for his most recent success. The cheekpieces worn then are refitted having performed with credit in better company at Thirsk last time. Having won over 6f the strong gallop will aid his cause. His young rider has partnered 10 winners this year and this could be another.
  1. Mininggold
  2. Pearl Noir
  3. Entertaining Ben
