Be Perfect scored over track and trip last month and won under Emily Bullock earlier but soft ground is a worry. The latter comment also applies to Yarmouth runner-up Percy Prosecco but MAURICIO has won on soft going in the past. The latter returned to the Flat with a recent victory at Yarmouth and Serena Brotherton’s presence suggests another bold bid is on the cards. Galactic Spirit is one of the least exposed but encounters today’s underfoot conditions for the first time but the evergreen Tapis Libre could go well and is preferred to Duke Of Yorkshire, who has a bit to find with Be Perfect.
