Paul Kealy sides with guaranteed fitness over unknowns in Musidora match

Pocket Square
2.40 York
Sell at zero in match bet with Dubai Love

Sporting have put two Night Of Thunder fillies, Pocket Square and Dubai Love in their match bet for the Musidora Stakes, and preference has to be the one with recent form.

was just run out of things over a mile after cutting out the running in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot, but that doesn't mean she didn't stay.

She got 1m½f very well when third in Listed company on dirt at Meydan in March and she obviously won't have any problem with the ground.

Pocket Square looked good when beating Run Wild in a Group 3 at Deauville last October, but she hasn't been seen since, and it can hardly have been the plan to bring her back for a race that was only saved recently.

She probably will stay, but needs to prove that, too, and there are simply more unknowns with her than her race-fit rival.
