Pearl Eye
PEARL EYE confirmed the promise of his Ayr run when successful with a bit up his sleeve at Hamilton last week and on that evidence, the follow up may well be forthcoming from just 2 lb higher. Unexposed 4-y-os Point of Contact and Grizedale have the scope to rate higher and head the opposition.

Newbury maiden winner on last season's return and better form in defeat since, despite not always being seen to best effect, which was the case on last month's reappearance (having been gelded) over 1m here a month ago. Slight step up in trip can help his cause and he's not yet exposed.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosYork7f 192yGoodFlat6/18Doncaster1mGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/14York7f 192yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/17Goodwood1mHeavyFlat6/15Haydock Park7f 37yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/9- 3(3)GrizedaleJ: Zac LloydE: Daniel & Claire Kubler21237-Âge 49/29/25/1

Confirmed debut promise when landing the odds in 1m Kempton novice in August. Sound placed efforts next 2 starts and easy enough to excuse handicap debut at Newmarket when last seen in November.

Won a competitive big-field 7f handicap here 12 months ago and hasn't taken long to hit top form again this season, typically racing freely but sticking to his task when third over 7.5f at Thirsk 2 weeks ago.

Picked up where he left off in 2025 when gamely winning at Haydock (10.5f) in April and better than ever when completing the hat-trick back at 1m at Thirsk 4 weeks ago.

Dual 1m scorer in 2025. Shaped well on his return when fifth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (1m) and ridden more prominently than usual when adding to his tally at Nottingham (8.5f) 2 weeks ago.

Ended a losing run at Southwell (1m) in December and suited by the sound gallop when making a winning return to turf at Wetherby (1m, good) in April.

Losing run dates back to January 2024 but he's posted plenty of useful efforts in good-quality handicaps since. Lurks on a dangerous mark on return to action but his profile on the all-weather is slightly more persuasive.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosNewcastle1m 5yStandardFlat10/12Southwell1m 13yStandardFlat7/10Yarmouth1m 1f 21ySoftFlat5/9Goodwood1mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat15/15Newcastle1m 5yStandardFlat4/10- 17(14)Harswell RubyJ: Joanna MasonE: Roger Fell0-71546Âge 414/114/112/1
