      Verdict

      Parsley's Return, Josear and Showtime Faye are all with a chance in this weak contest and the vote is given to Parsely's Return. The selection won well when on his first attempt in this grade and although he has a penalty for that win, he won with a little in hand and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Josear is from a shrewd yard but he has shown very little and unless the market speaks in his favour he is one to pass over on this occasion. Showtime Faye is dropped in grade and is another worthy of respect, but she has been tried over a variety of trips without success so can't be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder, So Elegant is one of the least exposed in the field and is open to improvement, but we prefer the claims of Parsley's Return to make it two in a row.
