Verdict

PERCY'S STAR came 3 lengths clear with a lightly-raced improver at Yarmouth last week and looks well treated off the same mark. George Wickham is a very interesting handicap newcomer and heads the many possible dangers along with last month's C&D scorer Sound And Vision and Tony Carroll's Serenity Dream.

16	10/3, career best when winning 7-runner C&D handicap (good) 26 days ago. Remains unexposed as sprinters go and a 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. 3rd Pick 16 Sound And Vision (Ire) Jockey: Kieran Shoemark Trainer: Ed Walker J: Kieran Shoemark T: Ed Walker	97	-	-	-	10%	9/1
