    Verdict

    Parikarma landed a double at Brighton with her latest success and is preferred to recent Newcastle winner Wolf Of Oxshott. DAS KAPITAL could only manage third in a tougher amateurs’ race at Newbury four days ago but today’s shorter trip on testing ground will suit and John Berry’s charge gets another chance. Saxonhill is partnered by a leading amateur while Selecto represents last year’s winning trainer and jockey combination.
