TOUR DE PARIS hails from a yard in good form of late and he can register a victory in this competitive looking staying handicap. The selection was placed at Wolverhampton on his most recent start and he can get the better of True Destiny who won at Kempton on his most recent appearance while third place can go to The Fandango who is another to have won on his most recent appearance.
