WITHOUT PAROLE is a half-brother to high-class miler Tamarkuz. The Frankel colt has only won a couple of novice events so far but had the proverbial ton in hand on both occasions. He has an entry in next month’s St James’ Palace Stakes and will need to win this to take his place in that line-up. Gabr wasn’t disgraced behind Saxon Warrior and Roaring Lion in the Racing Post Trophy on his final start last year and that is probably the best form on offer. He’ll be thereabouts if fully wound-up and Sir Michael Stoute also saddles the once-raced Regal Reality, who runs in the same colours as Glendevon. Stephensons Rocket pulled too hard on his reappearance over 1m2f so it’s no surprise to see him back over a mile. He remains a colt of some potential and Hugo Palmer immediately raises Silver Quartz in class after a wide-margin win at Windsor. Dream Today beat Gabr on debut at York last year and kept good company after so can’t be ignored.
