 I really dont Know how to rate Beauty Parlour and as such its not a betting race for that one with a layoff of this time - stable jock goes for his other entry?  I am taking a punt on Up who was 1 l behind Beauty Parlour on their meeting over 7flngs at Longchamp - lets hope they keep it to 8 animals for this animal that has hit form  at the right time for O'brien
