Pearl Of Qatar won at Newcastle in October and is 7lb higher on her reappearance while Mr Wagyu is penalised for last week’s narrow-margin success at Ayr with Epeius back in third. Almurr never threatened the winner when runner-up over track and trip while I Know How looks high enough in the weights though Jungle Inthebungle has slid down the handicap and placed at Wolverhampton recently. But SLOWMO drops in class after attempting to make all at Ripon and he gets another chance back on fast going today.
