Persian Prize didn’t last home over 7f last time at Wolverhampton but had finished second over this trip at Chelmsford earlier. Party Dancer showed plenty of pace on her second start at Newbury and drops down a grade for this while any market support for the Swiss Spirit colt Swiss Chill would have to be noted as his dam has already produced two winning sprinters. But it will be surprise if recent winners BUFFER ZONE and Buridan aren’t involved in the finish. The former gets the nod as he’d shown ability on Turf prior to his success on Polytrack in October whereas the latter hasn’t raced since a beaten favourite at Chester last July.
