In depth
Verdict
Provided that he is better for a recent excursion at Sedgefield when pulled up last month, Parade Racer should be too good for some moderate looking opposition, the best of who are Poynder Park, Maitre de Musique and Manhattan Rainbow. Point-to-point winner Poynder Park looks the main danger judged by a recent 10-length second to Miss Portcello at Carlisle and has the assistance of Gino Carenza in the plate. The 12-year-old Maitre de Musique is more than capable of taking a hand in this company if at his bets but has not shown that for some time, a comment that also applies to Manhattan Rainbow.
