Self Storage Association Handicap Stakes

Percy Jones sits a couple of pounds behind the top two on ratings but is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests he is still improving, which can make raw figures an unreliable guide at this stage of his career. Kingdom Of Stars heads the ratings narrowly and must be respected alongside Velvet Whisper and Dance Time, who are similarly closely matched and could easily fill the frame. The step up to fourteen furlongs on the Wolverhampton all-weather surface should suit a horse on the upgrade, and with the confidence held at a modest level this is far from a certainty. The verdict lands with Percy Jones.
