Verdict

Last year's winner PERSICA (2-2 here) left the impression his reappearance fourth in the Earl of Sefton will bring him on and, with the Richard Hannon yard in top form, he looks primed for a bold bid once again. Boiling Point was a place in front of the selection on that occasion and is feared having scored at listed level since. Stablemate Ice Max, who finished runner up 12 months ago, may emerge best of the remainder.

  1. PERSICA (IRE)
  2. BOILING POINT (IRE)
