      Verdict

      OUTBOX was beaten only a neck over today’s trip at Goodwood on his penultimate start and a repeat should see Simon Crisford’s charge go very close again with his yard in flying form. Persian Moon ran well at York last week without threatening the winner and is preferred to stablemate Vivid Diamond. He also finished just in front of Tribal Craft at Goodwood earlier and was well ahead of Mackaar when runner-up in Listed company at Hamilton last month. Stivers is hard to assess debuting for Dermot Weld but was Group-class in his native Argentina.
