      Verdict

      Town Parks is best watched having a first try over this longer trip on ground that will be quicker than ideal. Coolanly is having a first run since November and a Fontwell victory in October hasn’t really worked out. Ballymoy finally won a race over fences at Catterick three weeks ago and that should have boosted confidence, though this is a lot more competitive. CUBAN PETE fell at the first at Sandown last month but is normally a safe conveyance. He is high enough in the weights at present but boasts a decent overall strike-rate and he may outstay his rivals.
