Verdict
PARADISE EXPECTED is in great form at present and is taken to win again now switched back to fences and with confidence high. Tim Vaughan's gelding was the comfortable winner of a Stratford handicap hurdle last week and races from the same mark here. The drop back in trip should not be a major problem given that the cut in the ground will bring his stamina into play and he can go in again. Toulouse Express loves to get his toe in and steps up in trip here after finding one too good on each of his last three starts. His stamina is questionable and he is opposed again. Supreme Leisure will enjoy conditions but is inconsistent and has a bit to prove after a poor Leicester run. Lucy Wadham has her string in form and that is promising news for fans of Diarius, who is tongue-strapped for the first time here and improvement would not be unexpected. The rest of them look a poor bunch and Paradise Expected is the one for us.
