In depth

Verdict

Lucky Sun was beaten in a seller here last month but this isn't much better. Bumper winner My Lad Percy has shown little over hurdles so far but could find significant improvement now going handicapping, a remark that also applies to OLD PALS ACT. Jonjo O'Neill's five-year-old has been quite highly tried over timber so far and can take advantage of this drop in grade. What A Good Night was sent off favourite for a handicap at Stratford last month but failed to shine and looks one to be wary of now.
