BROUGHTONS PARADIS is worth a punt in this tricky handicap where Fisadara, Sergeant Pink and Twist Again are also respected as dangers. Twist Again ran in snatches here last time but did well to make the frame as a result. A sharper break would see her in a better light today and this lightly raced filly is worth noting at the likely odds. Sergeant Pink has started to show more promise of late but still needs to prove he stays a mile and a half. There are no speedballs amongst the rest, so he can easily make his present known at this level. Similar comments apply to Fisadara, who may have more to offer now that she has proved her liking for a good test. However, she doesn't appear to be especially well treated just now. It is noteworthy that she swapped hands for 22,000gns after winning at Bath last time out, though. Nevertheless, it can also be worth chancing a small stakes investment with Broughtons Paradis, who ran her best race to date when upped to this trip last time out. The daughter of Royal Applause is open to more improvement and this half-sister to the smart Batshoof takes the nomination as the punters' choice here.
