Romantic Destiny, Persian Sea and Madame Hoi can make this an interesting tussle, with Persian Sea's form rock solid and she can make it third time lucky. A daughter of the top class Hawk Wing Madame Hoi has failed to build on two runner up spots as a juvenile although she was highly tried at the start of this season. She has shaped as though a longer trip would suit and it is a surprise to see her come back in distance here, while the Mick Channon camp is enduring a quiet spell and she is taken on. Persian Sea ran well recently at Haydock, trying to make all the running over a mile before fading into third. The second and fourth won next time out and the form looks very good. Her previous effort, also third, behind the classy Scuffle also reads very well-there have been four subsequent winners-and she looks too good for her rivals here. Romantic Destiny has acquitted herself well this season in both her starts, finishing a close second at Beverley last time. She may find one or two too quick though here. Persian Sea can justify the haul North and collect here.
