Verdict

Persian Peril could well be all the rage here but we will side with Bocciani to get the better of Harvest Joy. The selection ran really well last time out when he chased home Lucayan Dancer at Catterick. He was no match for the winner that day but he was a little way clear of the rest and a reproduction of that effort should be enough to see him get his head in front. Persian Peril is the only runner in the field with course and distance winning form and he makes plenty of appeal now that he is dropped into claiming company. He may not be much of a price though so we will take him on. Harvest Joy is another that is eased in grade and this filly wasn't disgraced in a handicap last time, so she has to enter calculations. Alseraaj and Petrosian will need to step-up on their recent form to get competitive, and for the winner we will stick with Bocciani.
