Paparazzi won over track and trip earlier in the month, with Newmarket Warrior back in third, and found only one too good back here during the week but he’s upped in class today and REY LOOPY is preferred. The latter’s recent success here came over 7f but Ben Haslam’s charge has scored over course and distance in the past and is taken to defy a 2lb rise in the weights. Glory of Paris has been in good form on the Polytrack but debuts on this surface. He can figure but the remainder are harder to fancy.
