HOLD-UP HORSE IDEAL FOR IRISH CESAREWITCH

- 

CRYING out for a real test of stamina, MR PERCY (4.22) can outstay his 29 rivals in the feature Friends of the Curragh Irish Cesarewitch today.

This lung-bursting event requires not only stamina, but also if you have a holdup horse, plenty of luck in the run as you negotiate those horses dropping back off the pace on the relatively short run for home up the final hill.

The selection remains a work in progress, with a record of two wins from six on the Flat.

He had little chance from off a stop-start pace in the Ebor Handicap at York and will be much better suited by this deeper test where he can get into a rhythm early on in midfield.
