PARLOUR MAID’s victory at Market Rasen was franked when runner-up Quantum Of Solace won by seven lengths next time at Ludlow. On that evidence, a 7lb rise looks fair and a hat-trick beckons. Vivaccio is tried in blinkers while Finnegan's Garden and Kavanaghs Corner are proving consistent in this grade this season. Nickname Exit is making a belated reappearance but could figure if fully wound-up whereas Zen Master and stablemates Wee Saxon and Norse Legend have a bit to prove at present.
