Parkour goes beyond 7f for the first time but has a couple of course victories to his name over 6f. Sophisticated Heir wasn’t disgraced dropped into a claimer last time at Redcar but Dark Confidant has a lot to find at the weights and Joey's Destiny showed little on his first start for new connections here last time. ROUGE NUAGE is returning from more than a year on the sidelines but is something of a course specialist and could defy the absence with Rossa Ryan’s claim in his favour.
