Verdict
Despite returning from a break, PERCY’S WORD was always travelling best at Worcester last week and only had to be pushed out on the run-in to score. He has a penalty to carry here but should take all the beating again if in the same mood. Miss Heritage is a tough mare with winning form at a higher level and she may have needed her run in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock earlier this month but Beyond The Clouds will probably be back over fences sooner rather than later. Gipsy De Choisel is the least exposed but, as a consequence, still has a bit to prove.
