Formscan  - Percy Jones dead-heated for first at Chester before being placed second by the stewards, but he has an added 2lb now and may find some have too much for him. Saratoga Gold has a couple of course wins to his name and if a first-time visor brings him back to form, he could have a huge say, but LIGHTNING TOUCH looks the one. A lightly raced four-year-old, she ran on well into second here in July over 1m2f and looks all set to make the most of this extra two furlongs.
