Lightly-raced hurdler PERSIAN TIME shaped encouragingly with his attentions turned to chasing when runner-up at Newbury on his handicap bow/return and can put that experience to good use. Homme Public was undoubtedly fortunate to win a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time but still rates the main threat bidding for the hat-trick.
