In depth
Verdict
The three-year-old Paricolor will likely be all the rage in this finale after easily justifying favouritism on his handicap debut at Fakenham but this is no straightforward task under a penalty. MILLIE THE MINX doesn’t have a great strike-rate but runs her best races here and she has an experienced rider on board. Dew Pond is a rare winner nowadays and 0-7 over hurdles but he has some ability and it would be no surprise to see him make the frame while Haasab is only 3lb higher than when successful at Market Rasen in April.
