Verdict

PARLANDO took his form up a notch when a stylish winner at Wolverhampton and can make light of a 6 lb rise given he overcame a pace bias there. Zryan, a very good runner-up that day, again looks the one to chase home Ian Williams' hat-trick seeker, with the unexposed Regal Ulixes not without interest on his return. Flame Of Forest and Time Loop complete the shortlist in this cracking handicap.
