In depth
Verdict
Sandy Paradise has won a couple of lower grade contests on the Polytrack but is upped a further 4lb for his latest success at Kempton. Helm Rock is preferred as he carried a welter burden to victory at Carlisle last time though is 7lb higher today so a chance is taken on CURTIZ returning to form. The latter has raced over longer trips so far this year but won five times last season and drops down in class for this. Night Glass may improve on his second outing gelded and looks best of the rest.
