A visor may rejuvenate Pachakutek but our nomination goes very tentatively to PARC DES PRINCES. Andrew Balding's colt has shown ability on two of his five runs to date, the best of which was a short-head second to Super Fourteen at Brighton. His two runs this year in the blinkers have not been too hot but the headgear is off today and he has a pauper¿s mark of 58 to race from. Iron Out has been holding his form well on the all-weather, whilst Halfway House was disappointing last time and now has a bit to prove. Location ran well in defeat at Pontefract and she is able to race off the same mark today, whilst horses such as Green Dynasty and Eurotanz are yet to fulfil their potential. It is hard to be too confident about anything in the line-up but we will come down on the side of Parc Des Princes.
