Verdict
Parknacilla bids for a course and distance hat-trick raised a further 5lb but should still figure in her current form though Blessed To Empress was expected to do better last time having escaped a penalty for an earlier victory over 7f here. Harry Beau has been thereabouts over shorter trips recently while Zefferino won at Bath before finishing behind runner-up My Amigo at the track. But LETSBE AVENUE (NAP) has tumbled down the weights since last year’s victories and the Hannon charge now looks set for a return to winning ways having placed at Kempton last time.
