The underfoot conditions should give PEARL EYE (NAP) the edge in this. Three of this year’s four victories have come over track and trip, including wins on soft and heavy going. Kempton winner Beccara Rose has yet to win on Turf but Young Fire scored at Leicester last month and Shahbaz is another with winning form on soft. Liamarty Dreams and Conservationist still look high enough in the weights.
