Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Percy's Star
Percy's Star arrives here on a progressive profile that gives reason to believe the current rating does not tell the full story, and a fitness edge over several rivals makes this six-furlong Wolverhampton contest look well timed. The chief dangers come from Arishka's Dream and Acclaimed Freedom, who share the highest rating in the field and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Soca Star also merits respect at a similar level. However, the upward trajectory of Percy's Star is the compelling argument for siding with a horse still finding improvement, and on that basis Percy's Star is the selection.
