Midweek decision on Percy bid

A decision on whether Vodafone Derby hero Sir Percy takes his chance in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Sunday week is to be left until next Wednesday or Thursday by Marcus Tregoning.

The trainer admitted that any form of firm ground or very testing conditions at Longchamp would see the Mark Of Esteem colt waiting for the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket on October 14.
