Doncaster St Leger Festival: Muthmir can sprint to success in Scarbrough Stakes

Pearl Secret is not the easiest to catch right but has some strong form to his name and looks an obvious danger if on a going day.

David Barron’s seven-year-old was last successful in a Group 2 contest and Haydock 15 months ago and finished just 3/4 of a length behind Muthmir when a fine fourth in the Prix de l’Abbaye.

Pearl Secret also wasn’t far behind the selection when seventh in the King Goerge Stakes at Goodwood on his penultimate outing, and will find this much easier than the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York, in which he finished 11th of 19 to Mecca’s Angel last time out.

Go On Go On Go On not to be underestimated

Go On Go On Go On has a progressive profile and could be the one to capitalise if the “big two” underperform.

The Clive Cox trained filly has won her last three starts in handicaps in the manner of a three-year-old on a serious upward curve and looks well worth a crack at this level.

Taking on older and seasoned sprinters is not going to be easy but Go On Go On Go On looks the type who should have plenty more to offer.

It also looks significant that jockey Adam Kirby has chosen her over stable companion Priceless who is rated 5lb her superior and has some fair form in the book.
