Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Persica is our selection, rated 120 and holding a 7 lb advantage over Silawi and Al Zanati, the next-best on our figures at 113 apiece. Arabian Light, rated 111, also has claims just below that pair. Confidence in the selection is medium given how tightly the ratings are bunched beneath Persica, but on our figures he remains the one to beat over today's Class 1 10f at Newbury.

Racing Post pick: Persica
