      Verdict

      Bonjour Steve has gone well on all starts at this track, is not ground-dependent and was unlucky not to make the frame here last time. He should go well once again. Dusty Blue may have needed it last time but VALE OF PARIS is of greater interest. Her latest run is hard to assess when a fast-finishing fourth at Lingfield after fly-jumping the stalls and then taking time to get organised. It was a fair effort in the circumstances to get as close as she did and she'd previously looked a steady improver, albeit at a fairly ordinary level. This is only her fifth career start and she's afforded another opportunity to confirm the good impression made on her first two winning starts of the season.
