Paris Bell has hit form with a vengeance and can make it three in a row at the expense of Harrys House and Tsaroxy. Tim Easterby's colt caused a 33/1 shock when taking a nursery at Ayr, but proved that was no fluke when following up in a better race at Newbury. He demolished his rivals on the heavy ground, and with conditions in his favour again today he will take all the beating. Tsaroxy wasn't beaten far behind the selection in that Ayr contest and is entitled to reverse the form on much better terms today. However Paris Bell did show plenty of improvement and should have his measure again. Harrys House hit winning form over the five furlong trip here last time out, comfortably getting the better of Gadaulpin. He has performed well over seven furlongs as well so shouldn't have any problems with today's distance. Monash Lad and Open Wide have also shown enough ability to warrant a mention, but Paris Bell won with so much in hand last time he must be the one to side with.
