None of these have looked like winning so far but a chance is taken on GOODKNIGHT PERCY coming good as he steps up in distance. Bathos posted his best effort over 5f at Beverley earlier and William Buick takes over the reins for this while Stars N Angels has a shout on his third at Doncaster in June. Alabaaly should improve now handicapping and the same comment applies to Queensbury Odyssey.
