Herm landed a double when beating Calvinist by only a neck over track and trip last time but that pair are hard to separate. Willkommen won over 1m4f here before struggling over today’s trip but Star Of Athena scored over course and distance last month, though has failed to figure subsequently. The three-year-old HIDDEN PEARL (NAP) has quickly tumbled down the weights and posted her best effort yet when runner-up over a slightly shorter trip in a maiden at Chelmsford. Back in handicap company today, John Berry’s filly should go very close off her current mark.
