        Verdict

        Doctor Parkes is capable of going close off his current mark stepping back up in class. But SLEEPY SIOUX has been competing in better company and is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in November. She finished ahead of Royal Bajan when third at Southwell earlier this month and is preferred to Serenity Spa and Dutiful Son, who have done all their winning over 6f. It Must Be Faith is closely matched with the selection on earlier running but looks high enough in the weights at present.
