Percy's Lad lines up on a rating level with Mr Professor at the head of this ten-runner Class 4 mile at Kempton on the all-weather, yet the case for our selection rests on a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, combined with a fitness edge over the joint top-rated rival. Lake Como and Breakdancer are the next most significant threats as the race unfolds on a standard-to-slow surface, and neither should be dismissed lightly given the rating gap to the remainder is meaningful. With Percy's Lad travelling the right trajectory and sharper than Mr Professor on current evidence, he is the one to be on, and the selection is Percy's Lad.
