Verdict

Flat winner Persian Herald has already shown some ability over hurdles but the penny has yet to drop for the former Mark Johnston inmate Keenes Day. Soundbyte was only beaten a short head over 2m4f at Towcester earlier this month and Fear Glic was second on his UK debut here and should handle the ground. But the latter wasn't in the same league as SPECIAL ACCOUNT between the flags in Ireland and Jeremy Scott's charge, who has won seven point-to-points, can make a winning debut over timber.
