YOUGHAL BY THE SEA won his bumper here and he's respected on his return for top connections. Paris Texas isn't ruled out having disappointed last time, he ought to be capable of better in first-time headgear here. Bensachuine is a long standing maiden but he can't be ruled out for minor honours if settling better.
