Verdict
PULSATING won at Kempton last month and is partnered by a leading amateur in Simon Walker. She has the beating of It Must Be Faith on latest running and is also preferred to Impart. The latter went close off a higher mark at Newcastle back in October but has failed to threaten subsequently while Maazel has been thereabouts over 7f recently as he looks to end a long losing run. Arcanista won under today’s amateur at Windsor last year but remains 8lb higher.
