Verdict

PAPAL PARADE was having only her second start in over a year when scoring over the course and distance on soft ground last month. She would go close from 5lb higher if the ground eases and a chance is taken that she handles the likely quicker conditions. Mystique Heights makes a quick reappearance after carrying a big weight into second at Bellewstown last week and is on the same mark but Miro doesn't have a very good strike-rate and has yet to win on the Flat. Cache Queen is 9lb higher than when completing a double in July while Greenpanda doesn't find much when push comes to shove.
