Verdict

A couple of these step up in trip after scoring in this grade on the all-weather earlier in the month. Trip To Paris, a winner over 1m4f at Lingfield, is one but NORAB is more interesting. He won his third race in four outings when successful at Chelmsford on his comeback. A previous winner over 1m6f, Marco Botti's progressive charge gets the vote. York winner Gabrial's King is on a decent mark with Jack Garrity's claim taken into account but Lady Kashaan is upped 7lb for her easy win at Musselburgh and was beaten by Ardlui in this two years ago. Taws beat See And Be Seen well enough at Wolverhampton last month but failed to cope off a higher mark at Kempton last time.
