Miss Barbossa has been a regular here this season but is proving hard to win with. Oishin should also be thereabouts and Paddy's Yarn showed a bit of improvement when stepped up to 3m here last time but Parc Des Princes has only won once since 2012 and that was a seller. GRAND ENTERPRISE is still creeping up the weights but has been pretty consistent since the turn of the year and can reverse Catterick running in January with the less-reliable Touch Of Steel.
