Just Bond, Bajan Parkes and Torrens are the three to focus on here with Just Bond taken to score again. After scoring at Pontefract and here this season, Torrens was found out by the very testing ground at Newcastle last time. With the ground drying out he can be expected to go well and is respected. Formerly with Henry Candy for whom he took a Bath maiden, Bajan Parkes is now with Eric Alston, and he shaped encouragingly on similar ground last time, staying on well to be third. He is well treated just now and looks sure to be in the shake up. All Just Bond's five wins have come on the all-weather, including a last time out win at Wolverhampton. He should therefore handle the tight turns here and ran well at Haydock recently, where he was denied room at a crucial stage. Just Bond can shoot down his rivals and take this.
