      Verdict

      PARALLEL WORLD returned to winning ways over 7f at Wolverhampton a week ago. Placed over this extra distance at Southwell before that, Karl Burke’s charge can go in again. Imperial Command won over a shorter trip here in December but finished just behind Great Colaci over course and distance last time with the latter due to be raised a further 3lb after this having subsequently finished a runner-up back here. Eton College tries his luck over further having won off a higher mark on Turf last year.
