      Verdict

      The Handicapper looks to have taken a chance with Midnight Parkes, leaving him on the same mark, after beating Ian Balding's Dark Charm. The latter has since gone on to beat a useful field of maiden's at Newbury, and Midnight Parkes has the look of a well handicapped horse. Climate Control and Secret Spoof may follow him home.
