Verdict
Pete The Parson, a useful chaser at his best, is of limited ability nowadays, but this does represent his easiest task for a while. Returning from a break, Dragon King may need this, while course winner Millersford, may find this trip to sharp for him, even round here. Filscot comes here in good form as does Northern raider Hello De Vauxbuin.
