In depth
Verdict
Persian King who has been in good form on the flat and over hurdles of late is taken to score. He was a good third last time out when not far behind Brooksie he will find this easier and should go close. Donnini was well beaten in a seller last time out but at least he goes on the ground and looks the main danger. Kosamet is another to consider on his best form he was a good second on his penultimate run in a similar grade before disappointing last time and he could go well on this much faster ground. Admiral Peary would be another to consider on his bumper form but his jumping leaves a lot to be desired. Ambersong who has shown a modicum of ability on the flat should go well on his hurdle debut.
