Peerless Percy finally opened his account when scoring over track and trip and is 3lb higher. Thirsk winner Raqisa is fitted with a hood after disappointing at Ripon and novice winner Sea Me Win is another unexposed type and will be sharper for a recent comeback. Globetrotter won over a longer trip at Chelmsford earlier but Act Of Magic has a poor strike rate on the all-weather and ICE CANYON is preferred. The latter went close at Hamilton last month and looks set for another bold bid now back on a winning mark.
