Percolator (IRE) looks to have a good chance in what is a really open handicap hurdle. It would be no surprise to see a big-price winner here with no horse of the 21 runner field really standing out; however, he put in a decent effort at Fontwell on his last run and may be open to slightly more improvement than many of the others. World Express would win this on his best form but is difficult to catch right nowadays. Lord of Love and Guru Rinpoche are others with chances bur neither are in the best of form at the moment. The best advice for this race may be to leave it alone.
