Kempton winner Cloudscape is in the Derby and handicap winner Volume is in the Oaks - both should go well on their seasonal debuts. TRIP TO PARIS came up just short in a nursery on the July course here in September but he finished well clear of the rest and the winner subsequently went on to success in Listed company - Ed Dunlop's colt gets the nod. Maiden winners Laugharne, Raven Ridge, Top Tug and Windshear are all worth noting for any support in the betting as they return to action while Lungarno Palace and Rudi Five One are more recent winners.
