Paul Nicholls' bumper winner PERSIAN DELIGHT hasn't been totally convincing in two runs over hurdles so far but, with improvement in his locker, he has shown enough to suggest that he is potentially thrown in off a mark of 123 for his handicap debut as he steps up in trip. Walt is better than he showed over this C&D last time and looks sure to be competitive, as is Midnight Sapphire. 1. Persian Delight 2. Walt 3. Midnight Sapphire
