A real stamina test with soft ground obtaining and PARLOUR GAMES looks to have plenty to like in the opener. A fair second to Man Of God, this son of Irish Oaks winner, Petrushka, will probably be the best bred individual of any of the day's cards. Jalors was placed at Beverley on good ground and can be relied upon to have improved for that initial experience. El Torbellino was not disgraced in a decent nursery on St Leger day at Doncaster and will be a fine benchmark for the lesser experienced types to beat. Good Faith is a half-brother to Cobo Bay so one would imagine that he shouldn't really have too many issues with the step up in trip this afternoon. Smirfys Emerald has a likeable enough pedigree on balance and is one to watch in the market at what are likely to be fairly generous odds.
