      Verdict

      PERCY’S WORD is giving 8lb to his rivals but his form looks head and shoulders above that of the others and it will be a surprise if he is beaten. Blazer's Mill should be the one for forecast-backers even though he was no match for the selection’s former stablemate Sofia’s Rock in a similar race at Market Rasen last month. Foillmore and Yaazaain can fight out the minor placings.
