      Verdict

      Persian Majesty gets the confident vote with Big Bad Bob and Sabre d'Argent rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Persian Lightening last time out giving the impression he would improve markedly for the run. He is sure to strip fitter here and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Big Bad Bob rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly disappointing on his first run of the season and he is best when allowed to dominate. That does not look likely here and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Sabre d'Argent would be a danger to all on his best form of two seasons ago but he may need the run after a 556 day absence and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Green Noon is from a yard in form but his overall form on fast ground leaves him with a little to find and in a race that may become very tactical we return to Persian Majesty as the likely winner
