Rated 102 having gone close in Listed company, ETERNAL PEARL could only manage third when odds-on in a Newbury maiden. But the first two home on that occasion are rated much higher than today’s opposition and Charlie Appleby’s filly gets another chance.

Golden Chain placed over 1m3f here when ahead of Global Grandeur, Inchbae, Bint Alsarab and Manyana.
