Verdict
PARISH HALL likes this track and trip and is a regular performer at around this level. He's carrying a Group 3 penalty for his victory here just under a year ago but is taken to see off his two rivals. Air Pilot hasn't had much racing for his age and progressed nicely last season to land a Listed contest at Newmarket in November. He made an encouraging reappearance at Chester and providing the ground doesn't firm up will be a big threat. Roheryn avoids a penalty for her Listed victory last June and she's been finding 1m4f taxing her stamina this campaign.
