Verdict

The third from PERCY'S PRINCE comeback run has since won and there was enough to like over a shorter trip, following a lengthy absence, to think he can find the required improvement over this more suitable test of stamina. It's a competitive affair and the progressive Willkommen has to be respected following his breakthrough win. Gold Fleece is also on an upward curve and a win at this level shouldn't be far away while Swansdown rates a danger in headgear after an unlucky effort last time.
  1. Percy's Prince
  2. Willkommen
  3. Gold Fleece
