Parch and Ellis Beach have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo.
MR SUGAR DADDY (5) broke the maiden status around this circuit last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Maps ideally for this from gate two and can go back-to-back without surprising. The well-related AIRWAVES (7) (half to G2 winner Sejardan) is another to get the maiden out of the way at the latest outing and can go right on with the job now. Worth following up. PARCH (1) will be ready to peak now fourth run back from the spell and is capable enough on his day. In the mix. HELL OF A BENTLEY (4) was too bad to be true at the latest effort but the form prior was good enough to play a role in this. Worth another chance. OHH ERROL (3) best of the rest from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Sugar Daddy to win again.
