PERSISTENT has landed the odds twice lately but has looked like he could be better still once stepped up in trip as he is today. He is definitely one to stay on the right side of for now and is worth backing again here. Re-opposing Carrigmoorna Matt has been placed in all four hurdle starts and is significantly better off at the weights with Persistent here so he must be a danger. Westerner Point had a fine season last year and he is respected with no obvious reason he can't pick up where he left off.
- Persistent
- Carrigmoorna Matt
