Wells De Lune was successful the last time he raced in a seller but his recent form leaves much to be desired. Horse Force One won a maiden on his return to action over track and trip last week but PERCY STREET (NAP) will probably never get a better chance to end a losing run which stretches back to May of last year. He’s been competing in much better races than this and placed here and at Fontwell only last month. Oxwich Bay has been chasing but won here in July but Lovato was pulled up reverting to hurdles at Bangor.
