PERCEUS never looked like catching the progressive Snoano when third in a conditions race at Newbury on his debut. But that looks a better effort than the four-length defeat of Taysh at Newcastle so the Tregoning colt gets the nod. Ryan Moore takes over the reins on recent Kempton third Velociter and he's preferred to Step On It and Tatawu. The latter sports the same colours as newcomer Naady but Whoopsy Daisy is related to winners on the all-weather and makes more appeal.
