Oksana won at Market Rasen 11 days ago but this looks a tougher assignment. Tayzar has gone up 4lb for winning at Warwick but has won off a higher mark over fences. Red Reminder was successful over course and distance when last seen in March and Welland may have more to offer this winter. Legalized could stay on into a place and Eau Top remains unexposed but PARIS PROTOCOL was doing his best work at the finish over 2m1f here in August and should have no problems with this trip having scored over an extended 2m2f at Market Rasen last year.
