Persian Sea, Misphire and Naughty Frida make the shortlist here with Persian Sea taken to follow up an emphatic win last time. After some disappointing efforts, Misphire bounced back to form with a win on soft ground at Warwick last time. He ran well that day, but conditions here will be distinctly quicker and a return to losing ways looks likely. Naughty Frida is 6lbs higher than when successful at Kempton last month, and although she stayed on well to dead heat for second at Goodwood last time, she may not be as good on Turf as the all-weather and is taken on. Placed in decent maidens at Nottingham and Haydock, Persian Sea made no mistake next time at Newcastle, coming right away for a fine win. The ground will be faster here, and may not see her to such good effect, but she looks too classy for her rivals, and Persian Sea can leave them floundering.
