Verdict
Mimic and Melody King are two to consider here but we will take Parkside Pursuit to follow up last Sunday's victory. It wasn't the strongest of races at Warwick, but Milton Bradley's gelding won it in nice style coming from last to first inside the final two furlongs to beat Dizzy In The Head. On official ratings Mimic should have a good chance of beating the selection but he does need to improve on his seasonal debut when well beaten at Thirsk. Best of the rest should be Melody King who has put up some gallant efforts in defeat this season including at Chester last time when he got within four lengths of the back to form Awake. A tricky finale then that may fall to Parkside Pursuit.
