PAR AVION can make the allowances count and she can account for Come Back To Me and Stormin Heart. The selection won on debut at Doncaster in what was an ultra competitive event. She can be forgiven for being unable to carry a penalty next time around and has been primed for this experience by virtue of a spin on the flat at Hamilton. Come Back To Me has the champion jockey booked and is sure to be popular as a consequence. Stormin Heart was rated in the 40's when trained by Mark Johnston and it is now up to Jason Maguire to find the key. Lunan Bay hails from a shrewd yard so watch the market in spite of two inauspicious efforts thus far. Cabbyl Doo put up his best run thus far at Aintree and has no issues in relation to the going. Phoenix Nights has been well beaten in sellers and it would be a poor affair were he to finish close to the winner. A bad maiden and Par Avion might just have enough ability to win it.
