Parisencore has finished second five times in a row but was beaten 31 lengths by Masked Crusader at Carlisle on his most recent start. The latter is trained by Donald McCain, who has three entered here. Brian Hughes partners CARTONNE and the five-year-old could ensure another frustrating afternoon for supporters of the Nicky Richards runner if allowed his own way out in front.
