Verdict

PERCY SHELLEY is appealing on the back of a solid effort at Doncaster where he chased home an unexposed, progressive type. The 5-y-o remains on an attractive mark nudged back up 2 lb and he gets the nod ahead of Dark Jedi, who has slipped back to his last winning mark and he has his conditions. The hat-trick seeking Free Speech and handicap-debutant Melon are others to consider.

  1. PERCY SHELLEY
  2. DARK JEDI (IRE)
  3. FREE SPEECH (IRE)
