In depth

Verdict

PARICOLOR is well clear on official ratings and his record in sellers this season reads 4-4. Back at the right level, he should take all the beating. Deebaj won a claimer at Lingfield in November and is fit from the all-weather but Kingston Mimosa is better known as a chaser even though he beat modest opposition at Fakenham less than two weeks ago.
