With an official rating of 113, this should prove a mere formality for ANNA'S PEARL if back to anything like his best. He disappointed in the Free Handicap at Newmarket on his return which raises some doubts, but won't have to run anywhere near the level of his second in a Group 1 at Saint-Cloud last November to open his account. Dairam looks next best on this season's placed efforts and is preferred to Stomachion and First Secretary unless the newcomer Majesty, a 110,000gns purchase, proves to be something special on his belated debut.
