Pride Ofthe Parish started odds-on for a moderate bumper here last month and had no difficulty coming home a clear-cut winner. That was obviously just a sighter for this jump-bred eight-year-old and he'll come in for major support but it's PAGE TURNER who gets the vote. He was a distance clear of the third when just a length behind the well-regarded Distant Memories here last month and further progress will see him very difficult to beat. Sir Harry Cash was well beaten that day but De Dodger, though still a maiden after a dozen starts over timber, has been decidedly unfortunate on a couple of occasions and it will be a surprise if he's not competitive again.
