PERSICA can repeat last year's success. He is winless since but he shaped as if returning to form when midfield in the Earl Of Sefton on his return and he's entitled to come on for that outing with the easier ground here no issue. He can reverse that form with Boiling Point who had a fitness edge and backed up the run with victory in the Festival Stakes next time. He is the pick of the Karl Burke pair and can chase the selection home ahead of the sole Group 1 winner in the line up Qirat. That rival is flattered by his Sussex Stakes victory but will be a danger if allowed to dominate. |

Ground it out looking like stiffer test would have suited better when winning Festival Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood by a short-head last time; stays 10f well, likes a sound surface; stable first string on jockey bookings; big chance. |

Ran to form but awkward under pressure beaten 3l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; high-class but may have plateaued and not always the strongest finisher. |
