Verdict

Pearl Opera may be able to show just why she was made favourite on debut but she looks to have something to find with the likes of Another Laugh, Cristaliyev and JAHANARA whilst her stable are also represented by Farlow. The market can guide to the newcomers although none of them exactly leap off the page so it looks best to concentrate on those with experience and the suggestion is Jahanara who shaped well in an Ascot maiden won by a subsequent Group 3 winner and the majority of those from the race to have run since have performed with credit. Another Laugh is feared most following his third behind Big Issue but the yard have endured their worst month of the season and have saddled only one juvenile winner from 32 runners although it's worth noting that that winner did score at the weekend.
