Million Per Cent, Briery Lane and Obe Bold are the three to consider here and Million Percent is taken to defy a penalty. Briery Lane is still a maiden after thirteen starts but ran his best race for some time when finishing a close second at Pontefract last time. If he can maintain that improvement he can play a part here. Obe Bold sprang a surprise when scoring at Wolverhampton last time, but it didnt look much of a race. He is thoroughly exposed, and although the stable had a winner at Catterick on Tuesday night, he is passed over. Million Percent seems to be the percentage call. He was winning for the second time this year when scoring at Wolverhampton last time, and the authority of his success suggests he can defy a penalty here. Million Percent can defy top weight.
