Verdict

An opening-looking Persian War. DEEPER BLUE got firmly back on track towards the end of last season with victories at Fontwell and Exeter and could be up to completing the hat-trick on his return. Quid Pro Quo has won a couple of small-field events in effortless fashion this term and looks sure to go on to better things. Scipion is another capable of having a say if ready to roll.
