Plenty of these arrive with a chance including With Pleasure, beaten only a head at Chelmsford on his latest start. But PARIS MAGIC also has claims on his debut second at Wolverhampton when six lengths clear of the rest - Hugo Palmer's colt gets the nod. Hardington finished closer on his latest outing while both Bandit Bob and Ballard Down ran well here last time. Canford Thompson and Wynford could also be thereabouts, with the former preferred to stablemate Haweeya, while Jive Time is a newcomer to note.
