Verdict
A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on there best form but the principals look to be Parkinson Jacarado and Shrove Tuesday and the vote is given to Parkinson. The selection won well last time out when beating Iloveturtle and although he has a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Jacarado rates the main danger as he also won well last time when defeating Zimbabwe. However this looks more competitive and he will need to improve again to win off this higher mark. Shrove Tuesday is well weighted on his best form and hails from a shrewd Irish stable so should be noted in the market but he has often been let down by his jumping. Gee Aker Malayo was a fair fourth behind Jack Fuller last time and is another with place claims but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Red Alert Man is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Parkinson.
