Parnassian won lower grade race here recently but is only 2lb higher while Insurgence has come up short at this level since winning here in June. Fennaan has gone off the boil of late having scored at the track earlier while Desert Frost won over 6f at Epsom before disappointing over today’s trip at Chelmsford. Jellmood drops in class and may do better as a consequence but HOMBRE CASADO (NAP) missed out by only neck here on his latest start with a subsequent winner back in fourth and Ed Walker’s charge gets another chance on that form.
