Ground Worries For Percy Marcus Tregoning does not wany any more rain for Sir Percy, who defends his 100 per cent record in the Darley Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket tomorrow. The Lambourn trainer reports the Mark of Esteem colt to be in fine shape for the Group One two-year-old feature over seven furlongs. Sir Percy was last seen in public completing a hat-trick in the Group Two Vintage Stakes at Goodwood in July when he defeated subsequent Mill Reef winner Cool Creek. Tregoning said: 'He´s in very good form, I just hope we don´t get much more rain. There are showers about and it´s an unsettled forecast. 'The ground was soft enough when he won at Goodwood and I don´t think he liked it that much. 'I don´t think anybody wants the ground to be too soft to spoil the championship races. 'I think he goes there with a reasonable chance but whatever happens tomorrow he´s a very nice horse. 'He´s out of a Blakeney mare so there´s some stamina there which whould help him a bit.' ?
