SEE PARIS responded well to the fitting of a visor when capitalising on a drop in grade at Newcastle 9 days ago and, remaining well treated under a penalty on the form he displayed in Germany, he’s given the narrow vote to follow up. Sir Patchy, Night Bear and Black Smoke are others to consider, along with Fascinating Shadow.

HORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE AT LINGFIELD PARK

GOLDMOYNE showed significant promise when third at Newcastle starting out his excellent for his new yard, travelling like the best horse despite doing too much early Dropped in trip he’ll take some stopping. Alshimali needs a cleaner start than when third over C&D last time but certainly has it in him to go close, while in-form Lahina Bay remains competitive despite her penalty.
