Verdict

David O’Meara runs the consistent Doctor Parnassus in this but Danny Tudhope has opted to partner SOUTHERN VOYAGE (NAP) for Archie Watson. The Wootton Bassett gelding had to battle to get off the mark at Redcar but he’s out of a Galileo mare so this further step up in trip should suit. Camelot Tales has won over 1m2f at Redcar and Ayr this year but Good Soul makes his Turf debut after a break. By Starlight is preferred to Zuba of the older horses.
