Ana O'Brien has steered TSAR PAUL (NAP) to a double already this month and her mount looked to have something in hand when beating the in-form Times In Anatefka on Wednesday. A 5lb penalty only brings him to his new allotted mark and he can complete a hat-trick. Elusive In Paris hasn't won since May 2012 but has dropped to his lowest-ever mark as a consequence and has shown signs of a revival lately. Fairy Foxglove produced her best run since her debut in March of last year when chasing home the selection last week and though connections won't be pleased with a 3lb rise she must have a good chance of making the frame again. Captains Dilemma gained his only Polytrack victory here in February and was still in good form during the summer where he scored at Tipperary. Cash Or Casualty hasn't run from a mark this low in over three years while He's Got Rhythm, who has won eight times and is having his 97th start, is on his lowest-ever handicap rating so shouldn't be dismissed despite a big weight.
