Rated 70, Parish Academy sets a moderate standard and the likes of Impeach and Vanitas may well improve past him. The latter finished runner-up at Lingfield on last month’s debut while Lochnaver was well beaten in testing going at Newmarket on her introduction and stablemate MARAAKIZ is preferred. The Haggas colt is the first foal of a Group 1 winner in South Africa and could be good enough at the first time of asking. Lochanthem is related to a host of winners and makes more appeal than stable companion Bookmark while Shielded is a newcomer to note for an in-form yard.
