      Verdict

      The booking of Jamie Spencer catches the eye for One Night In Paris, and she is nominated over Northern Desert and Arctic Desert. The selection wasn't beaten far behind Ninth House last time and in this grade she looks the one to be with today. Northern Desert should give her the most to think about as she was only beaten a short-head behind Naughty Thoughts in this grade last time. The excellent Kirsty Milczarek takes 3lbs off his back and he is a definite contender. Arctic Desert is closely-matched with Northern Desert from that run last time out, and he has the best of the draw today so he should not be far away at the finish. Man On Fire won well last time and is another to consider, but this looks a good opportunity for One Night In Paris who is taken to score.
