PERSIAN LION gives the impression we still haven't seen the best of him and he should come on for his recent seaosnal reappearance when a respectable second. It's a similar story for Rockabill who is the first string for Joseph O'Brien. Tirmizi still looks on a workable handicap mark and can go well again.
