Verdict
Million Percent was a useful juvenile and has slipped down to a most attractive handicap mark. The son of Ashkalani has shaped better than his finishing position suggests of late and takes a significant drop in class. Telesto is unexposed and will appreciate the step up in trip after a staying-on Windsor fourth over 5f late last month while Sir Northerndancer has faced some stiff tasks of late but the blinkers he wore when running promisingly at haydock last time have been left off here.
