Trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam saddles his only runner of the day in ARABIAN PEARL who looks well treated on her handicap debut so she is taken to score in this girls race ahead of Darcey and Mo Mhuirnin. The pick dumped her maidens tag last time out in impressive style beating a couple of fair types. She wasn't that far beaten by a horse who has since placed off a rating of 85 two starts back so on her own debut in this sphere she is weighted fairly. Darcey should be seen in a better light now dropping slightly in grade for her second handicap start and based on her penultimate effort is still off a winnable mark. Mo Mhuirnin has been running well and put in a good show off this mark last time though the step down in trip doesn't look ideal while Harriet's Girl is another weighted to challenge. This is a fair fillies' handicap and Arabian Pearl can take it on her first start in this company.
