In depth
Verdict
Another tough event and a chance is taken with Million Percent while Fruit Of Glory, Greenslades and Fly More rate the main dangers. Karl Burke's charge has been in tremendous form of late and has won three of his last five starts including a smooth course and distance victory last week. The four-year-old impressed by the way he travelled before showing a useful turn of foot to go clear in the closing stages, winning with plenty in hand. The selection has been raised 8lb since but still looks ahead of the handicapper and should give another good account under Darren Williams. Fruit Of Glory is on to the hat-trick after two recent wins on the track and had to overcome trouble in running last time so is a little better than the bare form. She should go close off a 4lb higher mark while Greenslades had several of today's rivals behind when scoring at Windsor last time and this lightly raced type is another to enter calculations. Fly More represents a stable in good form and the six-year-old added to the tally when successful at Newbury on his penultimate start but is probably best at the minimum trip and could struggle having been raised 6lb since so Million Percent gets the nod.
