ROAD TO PARIS hasn’t encountered a surface like this before but the three-year-old didn’t race on Turf before May. He came good in a small race at Yarmouth last week and it will be a surprise if he can’t defy his penalty in a modest handicap like this. Olympic Odyssey won over a shorter trip here last year and has had wind surgery since last seen over hurdles in April. He’ll be back jumping soon but could make the frame here. Tidal Point placed on heavy going at Haydock in June so conditions won’t be a problem and he’s been dropped a couple of pounds.
