Verdict
A weak event which will take little winning and should be a formality for Percy Douglas who gets a confident TEAMtalk vote. The son of Elmaamul has been highly tried on turf and arguably put up his best effort when beaten just under five lengths behind Wunders Dream in the Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster's St Leger meeting in September. Although failing to reproduce the same level of performance since, the colt has nonetheless shown some respectable form including over course and distance and should have too much class for some modest rivals. Ex-Irish performer Mollyobrien is hard to assess on her British debut but wouldn't need to improve much to reach a place while Well Red would have claims if able to reproduce his close second in a Chepstow sprint maiden in August. However, neither have experience of this surface and the latter has a four-month absence to overcome so the forecast position can go to Arabian Knight. Alan Berry's charge was a fair third, beaten a length, in a seller over this trip at Southwell last time and may have a little improvement to come in the first time visor.
