Presenting Percy 11/4
I haven't had a strong view on the staying novices but as the grounds got testing it just plays into this fellas hands so much. I was at Fairyhouse when he sluiced up over 3m5 in soft carrying top weight, albeit a handicap, it's just shows what a stout stayer he is. Will love conditions and sure to go dam well.

Nube Negra at a juicy
9/1 in the FW, Skelton knows how to win a handicap round here and the second to the Triumph winner in waiting looks a cut above. Bumper is a minefield, so ive kept it simple and stuck with Willies favourite,
Blackbow 5/1 in it
Queen Mother looks a serious race, not sure what way to go in it. Hopefully Douvan is at his best and we'll have a right race on with the fav if so. Min looks booked for MINor honours to me. His Dublin Fez win was easy on the eye but his forms not really good enough to be winning this if the other two perform, which is the question. Small matter of Samcro out too, hear he's half decent
