        Verdict

        Venetia Williams' Grand Parade will be a short price in this and is hard to get away from, Marrel being the obvious danger. That said, the selection's good Worcester win - which stands out on form - came on good to soft going and it does seem that the son of Sadler's Wells does like to get his toe in. Marrel is on a three-timer following wins at Cartmel and Worcester but more is required if the favourite is on song. Of the others, Robert Alner's Itchen Mill might have some improvement in her but Grand Parade is hard to get away from.
