        Verdict

        TAKE TWO (NAP) found the progressive Aldeburgh too good on his last couple of outings, including his latest start at Wolverhampton, but he can come home in front here racing off the same mark. Persepolis has been thereabouts over 1m2f of late and can figure ahead of Teolagi and recent 2m winner Very Good Day. Swift Blade is a dual course and distance winner but hasn't raced since June last year while the once-useful Purple Sage hasn't looked the force of old since returning from a four-year absence.
