Peerless Percy finished runner-up at Catterick last month but several of those behind failed to get a clear run including O'Reilly's Pass, Monash and AMOURIE. The latter had earlier won at the same track and may well reverse running having gone close over course and distance in the past. Bigbadboy has won over 1m2f but has something to prove over today’s trip while Grand Pianola should be sharper for last month’s reappearance though his best efforts have come at Southwell so far.
