COUNT PARIS loves this track and scored here in November before just failing to cope with a 4lb rise and being beaten a head by Furnace last month. He looks certain to be in the thick of the action again and just gets the vote though Kingdom Beauty, who was going on strongly at the finish when a close third in the first of those runs, is 4lb better off and would have been the selection granted a better draw. Al Razi was always in touch but couldn't find a finishing burst behind Furnace but he has the best of the draw this time. Fourth-placed Final Recovery and Dan Chillingworth, who was a couple of places behind, look held however. Desert Of Dreams was just a two-year-old when making all to beat older rivals in a maiden last month. That was only his second start since being transferred from Ireland where he had some fine form and he'll be difficult to keep out of the frame.
