1.10 DILLIAN (IRE); 2.50 AUNTIE MARGARET (FR); 7.00 PONS AELIUS (IRE); 8.00 PERCY JONES; 10.00 GRAFFITI; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
DILLIAN showed some encouraging signs on his debut at Newmarket and shaped like he will appreciate the step to 1m2f, so he could be a big player. The debutant Percy Jones is another to note, he has an attractive middle-distance pedigree as he is by Derby winner Sir Percy and is related to some classy individuals, so it would be no surprise to see him involved as well. Auntie Margaret took a big step forward from her debut at Haydock and she also looks a contender with further improvement likely.
