Formscan - Parramount caught the eye when bolting up in novice territory over an extended 2m at Doncaster in January, but he failed to win a weaker handicap than this off a mark of 115 at Taunton on his penultimate outing. Therefore, it could pay to side with the Pam Sly-trained HAAFAPIECE, who finished a creditable fourth over an extended 2m3f at Wetherby last month. He is rated 1lb lower today and can improve, while No No Tonic also warrants respect.
