RACING POST VERDICT

Percy's Lad heads this ten-runner Class 4 contest at Wolverhampton on the all-weather looking a cut above, rated a clear seven pounds ahead of Inside Story and a further pound clear of Naepoint, with Havanagreattime also in the mix as the most plausible threats to his claims over this seven-furlong trip on standard going. The dangers will need to find improvement to bridge the gap, and on the evidence of the ratings Percy's Lad holds a meaningful edge over each of them individually. With confidence high and the form holding up well, Percy's Lad is the selection.
