Another teasing handicap with a chance taken on PARVANA. The Galileo filly made all to score at Pontefract last time, winning rather cosily, and whilst improvement is needed she appeals as the sort to progress further from a workable mark. She'll certainly get the trip and expect to see her racing prominently. Reflect merits topweight after good efforts in quality handicaps and Art History wouldn't be the first inmate from his yard to put recent disappointments behind him at this venue. However, the progressive Dragonera and Kinyras appeal as larger threats, whilst Amanda Perrett, successful in this contest last year, fields Action Front, impressive here on debut but most disappointing last time.
