Pearl set for Ascot

Willie Mullins confirmed today that stable star Florida Pearl will head to Britain for the Servo Computer Services’ Ascot Chase at the weekend – weather permitting.

The popular veteran, who made a winning seasonal reappearance at Fairyhouse recently when jumping with his old zest to comfortably beat subsequent Pillar Property Chase runner-up Rince Ri, is also engaged at Thurles on Thursday and Punchestown on Sunday.
