In a race that will take very little winning PERSEID looks as likely as any. He wasn't beaten far at Sedgefield last time and is off the same mark today. Ben Pauling hasn't sent Alpine Secret all this way for nothing on his chasing debut so he merits respect. Ten-year-old maidens are hardly the sort you look for but that said Under The Red Sky is running well off this sort of mark and has a big advantage on most of these experience wise.
