COURT PASTORAL made short work of her rivals at Epsom to keep her unbeaten record intact. There looks plenty more to come and this longer trip should be within her compass. Pernica is another going the right way and she makes her handicap debut after scoring at Leicester while Bantam also looks capable of better still after picking up a handicap at Windsor last time. The remainder are more exposed with possibly Divergence coming out best of them as Princess Caetani would appreciate softer ground.
