made all, set decent pace, driven clear halfway, unchallenged
tracked leader, under pressure well over 2f out, soon no impression
PARSLEY is difficult to oppose in this on her short-head second to Dark Reckoning in the Group 3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes at Ayr three weeks ago when War Alert, who is now 3lb worse off, was almost five lengths away in third. White Vin Jan rattled up a hat-trick in August but has been beaten in modest nurseries in her last three starts and is likely to find her two rivals here much too strong.
