Pahlavi rates 2 lb behind Paymelater and a pound off Whispering Hopes on these figures, yet the case for siding with her rests on a meaningful fitness edge over those rivals heading into this 18-furlong test on good ground at Downpatrick. Paymelater and Whispering Hopes are the obvious threats on raw merit, while Tropical Twist, 5 lb adrift, cannot be entirely dismissed in a wide-open 13-runner field. Confidence is modest given the rating deficit, but if Pahlavi is sharper than the principals at this stage of the season, she can outrun her bare figures and land the spoils.
