A couple of these have won lower grade races over track and trip recently with Amadeus Grey preferred to Headland. Thrave’s earlier win here came over 6f in a claimer while My Boy Lewis placed at Newcastle on a couple of occasions last month and Defence Treaty returned a beaten favourite at the same track last time. PARALLEL WORLD faded badly in the closing stages here on his first outing after wind surgery but ran well for a long way and Karl Burke’s charge gets another chance in this having gone close off a similar mark in the past.
Parallel World (IRE) 15-2 (9-7) Prominent, ridden 3f out, kept on same pace, 4th of 8, 12 1/2l behind Star Of St James (8-8) at Southwell 1m hcp (4) pol in Jan.

Thrave 2-1fav (8-11) Keen led 1f, tracked winner until ridden over 1f out, rallied to go 2nd close home, 2nd of 4, 2 3/4l behind Gabrial The Devil (9-7) at Southwell 6f hcp (4) pol in Jan.
