      Verdict

      PERCY JONES passed the post first in a handicap at Brighton in August but was demoted for interference. He’s weighted to come out best having his second outing for a new yard. Golden Chain has placed in a handicap at Sandown and steps up in trip while the less exposed Iftikhaar finished third in novice company over course and distance in October. Punxsutawney Phil and Estacas are bumper winners with the latter debuting for new connections having also finished runner-up on the Flat in Germany.
