Verdict
Several have been thereabouts over 7f here including recent third Damascus Finish and Loudspeaker, who wasn’t beaten far when fifth on his debut. But PERSIAN ROYAL had the measure of Golden Mac when runner-up at the track and is taken to go one better with Roger Charlton’s yard in good form. Arclight finished closer at Brighton and is another to consider while the newcomer Swilcan Bridge is related to a host of winners.
