Comical Errors, Parsley¿s Return and Golden Feather look the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to the last named. The selection won with plenty in hand when beating Northern Shadows last time out and although he has a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Parsley¿s Return rates the main danger as he has won his only race to date and is open to improvement but he only won a seller and this looks more competitive so he is passed over on this occasion. Comical Errors is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he will do well to give weight and a beating to some less exposed types. Of the remainder Lerida is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Golden Feather who looks well ahead of the handicapper.
