      In depth

      Verdict

      A daughter of Dubawi and a sister to three winners, including the useful Danadana, Persian Beauty is a very interesting debutante for the Simon Crisford team but she may need to be well above average to upset likely hot favourite SURFMAN, who comfortably landed the odds at Nottingham on his second start and should relish the extra yardage being a half-brother to top-class middle-distance performer Kitesurf. The others looks a modest bunch.
