TOWN PARKS is in the veteran stage now but can’t get much lower in the weights and in-form Sam Twiston-Davies keep the partnership intact. Out The Glen won three times last year but looked a few pounds too high when only third on his reappearance. Striking Out was only beaten a head last month at Ludlow, however, and rates a danger while Evan Williams will surely find a race for Prime Pretender sooner rather than later. Icaque De L'Isle is gradually acclimatising to new surroundings and also has claims.
