Mick Channon does well with his female horses and the booking of Graham Lee is a further positive for the chances of PERSUN. It's possible the step up in trip will bring out some improvement and she could be hard to beat provided she stays. Aldreth doesn't win often and needs to be delivered at exactly the right time but he should remain competitive after a 3lb rise in weights while Tetradrachm should improve for a yard that do well with their stayers. 1.
