Race preview
First-time cheekpieces (retained) seemed to bring out improvement in I Love Paris as she was only touched off by a neck into second at Newbury on her latest outing, but she looks up against it with CITY OF DELIGHT. David Menuisier's three-year-old was worth more than the winning margin suggests in his latest victory over track and trip last month and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 5lb for that triumph. He can complete the hat-trick, while any market confidence behind handicap debutant Ajdayet would also be of interest.
