      Verdict

      OLD PERSIAN made a promising debut in a competitive looking Newmarket maiden and he is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking here. The selection represents a stable with a 20% strike-rate at this venue in recent seasons and he can improve on that here at the chief expense of Algam , a winner on turf over 7f last time out while another previous winner Kit Marlowe who finished runner-up in a nursery here last time can claim third.
