VALE OF PARIS made all at Bath on her return to action and there should be plenty more to come from her this year. Choppy Water finished closer in maiden company last time but never figured in a handicap before that while Midnight Destiny has finished ahead of both Swift Susie and Olympic Charm recently without threatening the winner. Toni's A Star has won three times over course and distance and should go well only 3lb higher than her latest win in April.
