      Verdict

      It would be no surprise to see Smon Crisford's Persian Sun finish a lot closer in this modest company on his return from an absence but he remains hard to fancy on the bare form of earlier efforts and TOMORROW'S ANGEL looks a safer bet. Iain Jardine's filly was beaten only a neck over course and distance last month and is weighted to beat both Jawshan and Middlescence. The former wasn't beaten far over 1m2f at Wolverhampton earlier and the latter has placed over a mile here but Animated Hero and Fields Of Fire have yet to show any worthwhile form.
