      Verdict

      PERSIAN PHOENIX represents last year’s winning yard having made all to win a novices' race at Wolverhampton last month with plenty in hand. She could take some catching if allowed her own way in front once again. Gray's Inn won a seller before placing at Haydock and Pretence has switched yards after landing a selling race over track and trip. The latter’s stablemate Havanarama is fitted with a tongue-strap and steps up in distance along with Carlisle third Lady Wulfrun.
