PARLANDO bids to defy a penalty having made a winning debut at Leicester in October. The runner-up has since won and, with Charlie Appleby’s yard continuing to fire in the winners, he’s preferred to stablemate and newcomer Arabian Tale. Spirit Of Cimarron may prove best of the others with experience as he steps up in trip while newcomers to note include Moonis, a full brother to a Group 1 winner, with the Clive Cox duo Combat Style and Double Dare You others worth a second glance.
