PERKUNAS made a bright start when unfancied at Newmarket and never really recovered after being impeded at the start in a much stronger maiden than this at York. He looks the one to be on as neither Frock Coat nor Bluebeard have shown a great deal, though the latter didn't get the best of runs at Leicester last time. Powered has had his chances though he wasn't beaten far in two races at Deauville last month so could provide the main threat.
