Paphos scored at Kempton last week with Tubby Isaacs and Abriachan filling the places and can figure, while dual 6f winner Dashwood may have further improvement in him stepping up in trip. Mazamorra posted a better effort at Doncaster last time, but a tentative vote goes to GEORGE BAKER. He was having his fourth start in a month when running below par at Leicester in May but had been in fine form before that. Fresh from a break and with Frankie on board for his return, a big run is expected here. Jake The Snake could prove best of the rest.
