      Verdict

      TIN FANDANGO finished ahead of True Destiny here back in November and both have won since. The latter beat Demophon over today’s trip at Kempton in February but the former has the more recent form with a victory over 2m at Lingfield. Mark Usher’s charge beat Singing The Blues on that occasion and that form also gives him the measure of Tour de Paris, who has been running well over 1m6f at Wolverhampton. There is little between Alabaster and Dazzling Rock on collateral form though the top weight has a fitness advantage and can make the frame once again.
