Verdict

PERCY'S STAR hasn't looked totally straightforward, but he drew clear in the manner of one well ahead of his opening mark at Leicester last month and is taken to defy an 8 lb rise in the weights. Desert Treasure created a fine impression at 2 yrs and is well worth another chance to get back on the up having shaped as if needing the run on her reappearance at York in May. The hat-trick seeking Quantum Power completes the shortlist.

7	Bred to stay further but clearly not short of speed and took a big step forward when making all in this headgear in good style at Leicester (5f) on handicap bow 26 days ago. Hit with an 8 lb rise but remains unexposed. 1st Pick 7 Percy's Star Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa Trainer: Chris Dwyer J: Silvestre De Sousa T: Chris Dwyer	100	-	-	-	15%

5	Unbeaten in 2 starts as a 2-y-o but had missed 10 months when 11th of 17 in a handicap at York in May and understandably shaped as if needing the run. Has a smart pedigree and well worth another chance for top yard. 2nd Pick 5 Desert Treasure Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: William Haggas J: Tom Marquand T: William Haggas	99	-	-	-	20%

6	Much improved of late, supplementing his C&D success in 7-runner handicap at Windsor (5f) last week, always holding on. Should remain competitive in hat-trick bid. 3rd Pick 6 Quantum Power (Ire) Jockey: Jack Callan Trainer: Tom Clover J: Jack Callan T: Tom Clover	96	-	-	-	23%
Analysis Much improved of late, supplementing his C&D success in 7-runner handicap at Windsor (5f) last week, always holding on. Should remain competitive in hat-trick bid.
