The lightly-raced LORD PARAMOUNT (NAP) looks worth sticking with making his handicap debut after just the four career starts. The Ribchester gelding is a half-brother to four winners, including the smart Daahyeh, and landed the odds at Wolverhampton 12 days ago despite still showing signs of inexperience. Silver Dollar is much more exposed but back on a winning mark and blinkered for the first time while Free Solo also has each-way claims. Course winner Got No Dollars may be best of the rest with Luke Catton taking off 5lb.
