PERCYTHEPINTO has yet to tackle today's longer trip but the manner of his win over a mile here in November suggests he'll last home and George Baker's charge gets the nod. The Noble Ord has slipped down the weights and finished closer in a claimer at Kempton last time but is another unproven over today's distance along with South Cape. King's Road went close over hurdles a fortnight ago and may figure while Pose looks best of the remainder.
