My Gacho may be a little high in the weights to take this handicap whilst Polar Annie failed to follow up on a victory here after being raised in the weights and as she is similarly placed for this contest she may struggle once more. There may be more to come from PARVAAZ who is just 5lbs higher in the ratings after winning at Carlisle and he can take this race ahead of Mainstay and the veteran in the field, Seneschal. New Leyf has every chance in a wide open finale to the card, but Parvaaz gets the vote.
