OCEAN PARADISE is definitely on the upgrade and hasn't been unduly punished for her handicap debut after scoring on heavy ground at Nottingham. She should be seen in a better light in today's conditions and an score again. Ummalnar made a successful debut here a year ago but ended the campaign beaten when odds-on at Salisbury. She disappointed on her return at Ripon and needs to find more. Pure Shores has had three runs on the all-weather this season and has been looking a few pounds high while Gallic didn't appear to handle this grade at Doncaster and is another looking for a drop in the ratings.
