        Verdict

        PERSUASION (NAP) has gone well in higher grade races at Newmarket the last twice. His last victory was more than two years ago but came on this track and off a 6lb higher mark. Tuscan is another eased in grade and Ffion was poorly drawn on his reappearance at Chester while Gorak has only found one too good the last twice. Zainalarab won three times last year but has been gelded since last seen in action in September.
