Verdict
PERSIAN MOON hasn’t looked like winning in a couple of starts in tougher races at Newmarket and Sandown last time but has shown enough to suggest he can win at this level. Mark Johnston’s colt is preferred to Too Many Lovers and Flash Sentry but the betting should be monitored regarding the newcomers. Astronaut is related to a couple of winners and Motalaqqy cost 150,000gns while Prejudice is a brother to the high-class Postponed and a half-brother to Group 3 winner and stablemate God Given.
