Paradise Lost, runner-up in two of three starts over timber, has been running moderately on the Flat this year. Whimsy was rated higher than him on the level in the UK, winning twice and making a very promising hurdling bow at Galway. Dollar Nolimit looked in need of the run on his debut for new connections at Gowran and should have come on plenty but NATHAN WELLS made a nice start at Gowran and the half-brother to four winners so gets the nod. He was only a neck behind Joyeux Vivo, who had the benefit of a run in April, so should turn the tables. Lombron has joined Willie Mullins after finishing a close third at Compiegne in April.
