PAPRADON can be a bit hit-and-miss but he's eased in grade and sure to strip fitter for a comeback run at Stratford. He's marginally preferred to Temple Lord, who hasn't really convinced over this trip in the past and was beaten a long way when third at Worcester 12 days ago. Elsafeer was only beaten a neck over 2m at Ludlow in April but then disappointed at Southwell. George Nympton won off a higher mark at Uttoxeter in December but has reverted to type since.
