Race preview
Percy's Lad arrives in good form after making all at Chester, but he had a good draw that day and might find life tougher with a 4lb rise. It may be worth chancing YOUNG FIRE at likely longer odds given his record in the forecast testing conditions, with the handicapper cutting him some slack with a 3lb drop since last running on the turf. Tomfre is another who has dropped to a dangerous mark, but does need to put his last effort behind him, so Marshal Dan looks a more solid option given his latest second over a trip short of his best.
