Verdict

In a race that could prove highly informative it is very interesting that Davy Russell chooses PRESENTING PERCY with the last two Pertemps Final winners both lining up and that gets him the nod. Gordon Elliott runs three here and De Plotting Shed looks the best of his trio having also been very high class over hurdles. The other Patrick Kelly runner Mall Dini is respected despite Russell choosing Presenting Percy.
  1. Presenting Percy
  2. De Plotting Shed
  3. Mall Dini
