A winner in France last year, Gipsy De Choisel has been beaten in both starts so far for Nicky Henderson. He’s still weighted to get the better of Method Madness, a winner at Ludlow earlier, but UP FOR PAROL makes more appeal. The latter landed a gamble in good style at Wetherby last month and can defy a penalty on these terms. Light N Strike can figure with any further progress but Jaunty Freyja was pulled-up behind Method Madness on her hurdling bow.
