Verdict
Difficult to rule out any of the quartet but preference is for PARISH COUNCILLOR who has shaped with plenty of encouragement on his previous two outings and should be up to defying his current handicap mark. He can record a second career success at the expense of Roman Secret, who ran as well as could be expected on stable debut and looks a threat back down in grade,

VerdictTravels strongly but doesn't always find as much as looks likely under pressure. Still didn't look the most straightforward when winning 9-runner handicap at Leicester (10f) 27 days ago but deserving of some credit for sticking his neck out at the line. Remains to be seen if he can back that up.

VerdictPromising second (under this jockey) over 10f at Redcar in May and again shaped well when left with too much to do in a female amateur jockeys' handicap, finished a creditable third of 7 at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Could be poised to strike off current handicap mark.
