Paparazzi has been in good form on the all-weather and has won twice at Newcastle this year but has yet to score on Turf. Make Me ended last year winning on soft going at Redcar and returns to action off a 3lb higher mark though Tadaawol, who has been threatening a return to winning ways with recent placed efforts, makes more appeal. But the progressive SAISONS D’OR looks the one to side with having followed a win at Nottingham with a success over today’s trip at Wetherby and collateral form gives him the beating of Dubai Acclaim. Mont Kinabalu needs further nowadays and Autretot is another dropping down in trip.
