SHE’S A UNICORN came here for her nursery debut and stayed on very strongly to win comfortably on heavy going. She defied a penalty to score again at Doncaster and is only 1lb higher here so has to be the selection. Parikarma has progressed with every run and showed her liking for heavy ground when staying on late to score over 7f at Yarmouth for which a 3lb rise shouldn’t pose a problem. Isobar Wind has won sellers at Ripon and Wolverhampton and this looks too tough but Sterling Stamp was obviously unsuited by Tapeta at Wolverhampton after a very good run at Kempton. Global Agreement found 6f too short at Yarmouth and won’t mind the conditions.
