Percy facing stiff test in Champion Stakes

SIR PERCY is 4-1 favourite to add the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday to his Vodafone Derby triumph.

Ladbrokes installed the Marcus Tregoning-trained colt as market leader after 15 horses were confirmed yesterday for the Group One showpiece over a mile and a quarter.

The lightly-raced three-year-old, who has not run since his narrow victory at Epsom in June, is likely to face his toughest task to date should he take on his elders.
