Racing Post verdict
Third-partyPercy's Lad is our selection in this competitive Class 4 contest over Chester's 8f, boasting a clear advantage over the rest of the ten-runner field on our figures. Obelix, Miami Matrix and Advance Twentyfive represent the main dangers, all fairly closely matched between themselves, but none gets near matching the selection's overall level. Confidence is high that Percy's Lad's superior form profile prevails here.
