Parisian Storm and Fantastic Champion should have this between them, with the vote going to Fantastic Champion. For us, the selection has the better of the form, having finished third to Football Crazy and second to Analogy in his last two runs. That equates to around the 120 mark, which looks a good bit above that of his rivals. Parisian Storm came good at Southwell last time and today's trip and track should suit his style of running. However, it will be disappointing if the selection cannot pick him off in the straight and gain his second jumping win. Of the others, French winner Le Forizien showed little on his British debut and Indian Beat's form rates at around plating class.
