Pearl Of Qatar finally won a handicap when successful over track and trip in October but has been raised 7lb. She’s still preferred to Etikaal, who won over 7f here more recently. My Town Chicago scored at Kempton before struggling at Wolverhampton while KYLLACHY WARRIOR has yet to win anywhere. But the latter went close over course and distance last month when finishing ahead of Almurr and gets another chance in this with an apprentice’s 7lb allowance in his favour. I'll Be Brief is the least exposed now handicapping for the first time though hasn’t raced since placing here nearly a year ago.
