In depth
Verdict
Ugo Gregory missed out on a hat-trick when second at Musselburgh while Capla Berry placed in a lower grade at Yarmouth last time. The Great Heir finished in front of Dawn Breaking at Catterick a week ago while maiden winner Bobby Shaft was beaten back in a handicap at York recently. Velma has won a novices' race at Newcastle and dual novice winner PARALLEL WORLD finished runner-up at Southwell on his handicap debut. That was back in March but a chance is taken Karl Burke’s charge is ready for action and he gets the vote.
