PARHELION left the impression he would come on for the run when beaten only a length here on his recent reappearance. He looks capable of winning a race at this level and, in an open contest, he's just preferred to Beaubrav. The latter has been raised 8lb after a cosy victory over 1m4f here last time and will need to show further progress if he's to follow-up. Zafranagar won a maiden in good style last time and could figure while Maslak and Grande Caiman have claims on their best form and are others to consider.
