Little form of any note to assess but PARISH BUSINESS appreciated the application of a tongue tie at Kempton this month when beaten just over five lengths by the useful Simply A Legend on a first run for the Emma Lavelle team. He should improve for that effort over a trip that should not inconvenience this former point-to-pointer. The remainder have no form of note under Rules but Geton Xmoor may have more to offer after just a couple of starts as he showed a glimmer of ability last time after a lengthy absence. However, C J Mackintosh could prove the prime threat despite being tailed off last time as she finished in mid-division on her previous four starts and gets a handy weight allowance from all her rivals.
