In depth
Verdict
Parramount has every chance on a recent debut second at Haydock when finishing well clear of the rest. But HIGHSTAKESPLAYER was only beaten a neck at Ayr with Get The Facts back in fourth and Tom Lacey’s charge should be winning at this level. Mr Glass made a promising start at Newbury but on fast ground and Okavango Delta also faces different underfoot conditions after placing at Newcastle. Eleven Seven Ten is a half-brother to dual bumper winner Sir Gerhard and is preferred to Son Of The Somme and Areyouwithus of the newcomers.
