UP FOR PAROL was third in the Lanzarote Hurdle at Kempton but pickings have been slim for supporters following that performance and this is a chance to get something on the board. Yorksea knows his way around this distinctive circuit and should be fit from a run on the Flat at Goodwood. Word Has It hasn’t visited the winners enclosure since March 2021 but the stable have had a couple of winners over the last few days so he isn’t one to be dismissing out of the equation.
