Verdict

There was cut in the ground when PERSIAN FORCE won the Brocklesby in good style at Doncaster last month. That race has worked out well with both placed horses winning nicely since and that looks stronger form than Holguin’s debut victory over track and trip. The selection’s stablemate Indian Renegade is related to eight winners while the Ballydoyle newcomer Sierra Blanca can include a couple of Group 2 winners among his winning relatives.
