Limerick Lace (5/6), Percy Warner (3/1), Jody Ted (5/1), Barnacullia (5/1), It Could Be You (17/2), Gallyhill (9/1), Razzle Dazzle Love (12/1), The Little Yank (14/1), Francin (20/1)

PERCY WARNER has been brought along gradually following a lengthy absence and left his previous form well behind upped in trip and in first-time cheekpieces for his handicap chase debut when runner-up here 4 weeks ago. He's taken to go one place better with further improvement on the cards. Francin's opening mark is potentially a good one ahead of his belated handicap bow and he rates the main threat ahead of Limerick Lace.
