      Verdict

      Bermuda Boy has been a shade disappointing in his two runs so far over fences. This longer trip could suit but we still prefer BENBANE HEAD, who created a very favourable impression when beating Organisateur over C&D in May and has the potential to go on the better things. Persian Run has had plenty of chances, while Zhukov is thoroughly exposed as a chaser nowadays and looked ready for a rest when tailed off in a handicap at Stratford last month. Gan On won easily at Uttoxeter but this looks tougher.
