Loumarin and Temple Road were both successful at Wolverhampton recently with the former preferred off her new mark and she should confirm running with Ohsosecret. Roy's Legacy is penalised for last week's win at Kempton and Picansort is a rare winner nowadays and has to race off a much higher mark on the all-weather than when scoring at Brighton back in August. But PEARL NOIR has won three times this year and, dropped in class for this, it could be the turn of Scott Dixon's charge once again.
