Thornaby Pearl managed to win first time out this season at Doncaster and after a couple of average efforts run a much better race last time out at Ripon where he finished 5th of 12. Now back on a more conventional track and over 6f on better ground he might be able to pick the winning thread again. The handicapper has dropped him 1lb since his last run and a rating of 71 should see him competitive. Thornaby Pearl often likes to race prominently and that style of racing on the straight course here can often pay dividends. Thornaby Pearl rates a 3 star each way Pick.
