Persian Delight hasn't been seen since finishing seventh in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April of last year but that is unlikely to be a problem and he's sure to have had plenty of schooling. Keating has a cracking pedigree being by King's Theatre out of a Galileo mare and he's worth a market check on his first start for Philip Hobbs. Sir Will wasn't beaten far at Uttoxeter in April but CALL TO ORDER, an eye-catcher at Doncaster last season, will strip fitter for a recent run here and may now be ready to open his account.
