Party Island's last four victories have been on Polytrack and he was well beaten on good to soft at Newbury last month. Glencora goes for a hat-trick from a 5lb higher mark following a double in Class 6 company but Newcastle winner Systemic takes a drop in grade and his rider's claim should help further. The three-year-olds at the bottom of the handicap could dominate this. Spirit Mixer, a son of Frankel, has been a beaten favourite the last twice including when less than a length behind Alerta Roja over the trip at Salisbury. He can go well but the vote goes to DOCTOR PARNASSUS, who was always in the front rank on his handicap debut over this trip at York and can make further progress.
