Verdict
The experienced Nellie Pickersgill has shown promise but may have to wait for a nursery to get off the mark. PARC DE LAUNAY is a half-brother to the Windsor Castle winner Flashmans Promise and Jamie Spencer takes the ride. Tom Tate's colt should have the pace for this and gets the vote ahead of Richard Fahey's Pen Bal Crag, whose dam has already produced five winners, John Quinn's Cooldine Cat is a half-brother to a dual juvenile winner in France last year and is one to note.
