PEARL OF HOPE (4) represents leading connections. Improved from a debut sixth to place 3.25L second at this venue over 1m. Steps up in distance to come on further. Leading contender. BLUE LACED (1) placed 2L third tackling track and trip last time. Will provide stiff opposition. ROMANTIC OPERA (8) is a stablemate to the top pick after finishing a close up 1.25L seventh here. Rising in journey could bring out more. Not to be discounted. PINK PETUNIA (5) has plenty of racecourse experience. Finished 0.75L second at Wolverhampton contesting 1m1 1/2f. Warrants thought.
