5/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Encouraging seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.8f) 34 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap hurdle debut and should progress so he's well worth considering.

9/2

11/2, first run since leaving Eugene M. O'Sullivan when below-form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, soft) 54 days ago. Booking of Conor Orr a plus but others still more persuasive.

Forecasts

Shedding (4/1), Colonel Lesley (9/2), Million Percent (5/1), Caddy Shack (6/1), Listenheretomejack (7/1), Afternoonwithsusan (15/2), Influential Lady (11/1), Dundeedy Lad (12/1), Drumbar Millie (25/1), Kayla's Delight (25/1), Rebel Turn (28/1), Profound (33/1), Daring Decree (50/1)

MILLION PERCENT is much less exposed than most of these so is fancied to take a big step forward now he goes into handicaps after an eye-catching seventh at Kilbeggan. Caddy Shack has a poor win ratio but arrives in good nick so is sure to make her presence felt, while Influential Lady is another with the potential to have a big say if back to her best.
