A weak maiden can go the way of PARVAAZ, though he is unlikely to be much of a price, and those looking for a bit of value might find it in Filibuster, while Tt's Dream and Wear 'em Out Wilf are interesting on debut. The selection made a pleasing first effort at Yarmouth last season and returns for his first start since then. Being by Rahy he should appreciate the fast ground today, and although not ideal on pedigree, the drop back to 7f should not be a huge issue if he pulls as hard as his sire. With the yard in form we will side with him. If he doesn't perform as anticipated then Filibuster might be able to exploit that. Chris Wall has his string in fine fettle and this Toubougg gelding is related to a number of winners over this trip at three, so we expect to see much more from him than at Newmarket in October. Tt's Dream begins his career at a suitable trip and should act on the ground, so a market check is advised where he is concerned, and the same applies to Wear 'em Out Wilf, though he looks bred for shorter trips than this. Rolling Hills looks vulnerable again in this company and of more interest is Mahlak, but Parvaaz is given the vote.
