PEARL ACCLAIM is 0-12 on the all-weather but having his first run here and he was just beaten in a handicap on Tapeta at Newcastle in November – he’s well clear of these on official ratings. The blinkers are back on Equity even though he ran better without them in a claimer here last month. Tooty Fruitti hasn’t been beaten far at Bath lately in a couple of starts but, like Teepee Time and debutant Quick Monet, look up against it on these terms.
