Verdict

None can be easily ruled out but DOCTOR PARNASSUS may edge affairs. David O’Meara’s charge finished third at York on his handicap debut and the runner-up went on to win over 1m2f here with Chalk Stream behind. The latter steps up in trip along with Newcastle runner-up Chase The Dollar while Albert Camus drops back down in distance having come up short over 1m6f at Doncaster. Geremia makes his handicap bow in first-time headgear and may improve.
