Verdict
Star Pearl is not ideally drawn for a front-runner and could find herself competing for the lead with Perfect Venture. That should suit Summer Dream and Balti's Sister who both have claims off their current marks. Imaginary World arrives in fine form after scoring at Newcastle but it could pay to stick with MRS BANNOCK. The Godolphin filly hasn't raced since winning on her racecourse debut at Lingfield last year but beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and can make a successful return.
