Verdict

Persian Lightning is progressing along the right lines and looks capable of adding to previous wins this term at Leicester and Newcastle. The son of Sri Pekan has performed with credit in his last two starts and the return to this trip should suit having been outpaced last time over 10f. Millennium Hall has dropped 7lb since the start of the current campaign but has since left Luca Cumani and is best watched on his first start for new connections but Duke Of Earl is back on the same mark as when successful over at Goodwood in May and is respected while Dancing Water is knocking on the door and shouldn't remain a maiden for much longer.
