The vote here goes to One Night In Paris, with his biggest dangers reckoned to be Kilgary and Tornadodancer. One Night In Paris warmed up for this with a fair third here following a sixth-month break. Normal improvement from that allied to a step up in trip could yield further improvement and she is fancied to go well. It is hard to weigh up the form of Kilgary's third to subsequent winner Khun John with the fifth-placed horse having only plating form; however, it would be no surprise to see him go well in this modest event. Benny The Bus was not beaten far over six furlongs here from a mark of 63 two runs ago and his run will give you an idea as to the value of the form here. Mill End showed promise on his second start but did not follow it up last time. Moonstreaker and Ours have shown enough to be considered for a place. The Irish import Tornadodancer showed enough in his Irish efforts to also be considered on his British debut but, for the selection, we return to One Night In Paris.
