Verdict
Hunting Percival has won twice at Stratford this summer, beating the luckless Mr Yeats on the latter occasion. Milton Harris’ charge is no better off at the weights though did win this 12 months ago and the yard also run his full brother Presenting Yeats. Tommie Beau was in good form over fences at the start of the summer and Go Chique got back to winning ways at Market Rasen but Emmet Mullins has found a good opportunity for SLATE LANE to complete his hat-trick. His latest victory at Bangor has already been franked.
