In depth
Verdict
The short-listed three here are Red Rudy, Parnassian and Emily's Place, with the vote given to Red Rudy. Red Rudy landed a gamble at Chepstow last time and remains interesting despite a rise in the weights, while there is no doubt that soft-ground lover Parnassian is well weighted if able to recapture his form of around a year ago. Emily's Place comes here on a roll, having won a couple of claimers, so has to be considered, while Gallego looks reasonably weighted in terms of a fair show. Finally, Zendaro is another that comes here in good heart, although her best efforts recently have come at a low level, and more will be required today. Once again, then, the vote goes to Red Rudy.
