    Verdict

    Act Of Valour had been going well in handicaps before finding Listed company too much for him at Roscommon. Belgravia has competed in Group 2 races over 1m6f in his last two runs and might just get outpaced over this trip on fast ground. He had little to spare over CLONGOWES over this course and distance in May when the latter was conceding 3lb. Jim Bolger's colt has improved subsequently so can reverse the form and take this. Percy is by no means out of this as he was conceding 16lb to the selection when beaten just over four lengths at Down Royal last month so should get very much closer.
