A number of these are in good nick and PARAZAR makes most appeal. Absent since last October, he was produced fit and well to run out a ready winner at Fontwell this month in a manner suggesting he has more to offer. He inhabits a fair mark moving into handicap company and this seems his trip. Dashing Doc got onto the scoreboard last time and is a potential improver, although he'll need to be as this is tougher and he hasn't been handed an easy task by the assessor. Midnight King and Tae Kwon Do should remain competitive but the main threat may emerge from Irish raider, Strandfield Bay. An improved third in handicap company at Tipperary last time, his connections are certainly not averse to a tilt at the ring and he needs checking carefully.
