JAYTRACK PARKHOMES has placed on all three starts this campaign and he can get back to winning ways with a success in this handicap hurdle. The selection ran well over further on his most recent start and he can get the better of top weight Hygrove Percy who impressed when winning on his return from a lengthy absence last time out. Birds Of Prey represents a top yard on handicap debut and he can claim third.
