Verdict
PARICOLOR has lost his way a little but this is a drop in grade and distance and his ability to stay further will be a massive plus under today’s conditions. He is also the highest rated ahead of the maiden Falberto, who meets him on level terms. Fume won on Polytrack in July and was second in a handicap at Fontwell in August but was pulled up when favourite at the latter track in September. The remainder are even harder to fancy.
