I Love Paris has placed a couple of times at Newmarket and is already rated 80. Redcar third Alacrity represents last year’s winning stable but Ralph Beckett saddled the winner in both 2020 and 2021 and runs two. Racing on the outside, Blue Akoya was keeping on at Leicester but GAMES PEOPLE PLAY did well to place at Goodwood on debut after missing the break. She wasn’t given a hard time and should handle today’s ground. Beeley looks a big danger as she was only beaten a nose on heavy going at Nottingham but Lady Masar may do better in handicaps and La Punt could need today’s experience.
