Verdict
PARLIAMENT HILL has won two of four outings over hurdles and finished third at Fontwell on his recent chasing debut. He’ll appreciate the return to this shorter trip and may prove the one to side with. Ritson is another likely improver on the back of a recent chasing bow at Hexham while Mongol Emperor is fitted with a tongue-tie for this. Winning hurdlers Escapeandevade and Hidor De Bersy go chasing for the first time as they return to action but Dakota Moirette has had 26 attempts over fences without winning.
