Racing Post verdict
Third-partyPersian Land is clear on our figures in this small Chester Class 4 field over seven furlongs, rated 95 and a healthy margin clear of everything else. Despite that gap, this only carries a low level of selection confidence, so the form here is close to being taken on. Cash Cove, Donegal Rose and Kach Above are all rated within striking distance and represent the most likely dangers. Persian Land remains the pick on the bare figures, but this looks a race that could throw up a surprise.
