Verdict

Buzybakson, Parsons Legacy and Ulusaba are three against the field in a wide open affair and the vote goes to Parsons Legacy. The selection was a good second behind Ulusaba last time out beaten three quarters of a length. However he is much better off at the weights with that rival here and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Buzybakson rates the main danger he won in the style of an improver when defeating Toulouse Lautrec last time and although he is rising in the weights he still looks well handicapped. Ulusaba is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he may be in the handicappers grip now. Fin Bec was a fair second behind Paxford Jack last time and is another with place claims but his best form is over further and for that reason he is opposed. Jaybejay is well in on his best form but has failed to complete the course on his last two starts so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Enzo De Baune is from a shrewd and is worth noting in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Parsons Legacy.
