Percy's Lad
Front-runner; well handicapped, being 8lb lower than for his Chester win last May, but he didn't fire at that meeting two weeks ago and he now has a point to prove.

From the connections
“It was a great ride by Richard, and Percy's Lad proved in the race last year he can get out of a high draw well [finished third]. We'll see how he comes out of this and there's a race back here in a couple of weeks and he could go back for the Buckingham Palace - Claire Kubler, joint-trainer.”
“I popped into the Kublers' last week and I've known Daniel for a long time. The plan was to follow something else on Percy's Lad but I was a passenger so I decided to come over to the stands' rail. He did that well and was entitled to win like that on his two-year-old form - Richard Kingscote, jockey.”
“Percy's Lad has a lot of pace so I'm not convinced he'll stay the Derby trip, but we'll see. He'd be seen at his best in a bigger field with a better pace to aim at but I'm absolutely thrilled with him. It probably wasn't a particularly strong renewal but he could only win it and he's a nice horse. - Eve Johnson Houghton, trainer”
