PARIS SNOW was a winner without a penalty when completing a hat-trick at Newmarket. He carries 6lb extra today but can go in again in his current form. Surround Sound won under today's amateur at Musselburgh last time and should be in the mix while Politbureau is holding his form well despite having shot up the weights for earlier wins. Operateur won last year's renewal off the same mark as today and is another to consider along with Serena Brotherton's mount Schmooze.
