Verdict

PARISH STAR produced a career-best effort to belatedly get off the mark at Newcastle last week on just her second start for this yard and has obvious claims going unpenalised for that. By The Grace can go well fresh so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Somebodycomegether.

1	Resumed from 8 months off with an improved second at Hereford (16.2f) last winter, just failing. Not quite in same form at Doncaster in March and off since. Can go well fresh so not taken lightly. 2nd Pick 1 By The Grace Jockey: Mr Daniel Williams Trainer: Nicky Henderson J: Mr Daniel Williams T: Nicky Henderson	92	-	-	-	12%

5	Staying handicapper on the Flat who opened her account over hurdles when making all in handicap at Catterick in December. Backed that up when fourth at Doncaster though without suggesting she's got much in hand off her revised mark. 3rd Pick 5 Somebodycomegether Jockey: Conor Rabbitt Trainer: Jessica Bedi J: Conor Rabbitt T: Jessica Bedi	94	-	-	-	15%
