The form of NEVERBEEN TO PARIS has really taken off since he was switched to handicaps and it may well take more than a 7lb penalty to halt his rise up the handicap and stop his hat-trick bid. Solo Saxophone arrives in good form but he’s still one to have reservations about on his past performances and Fidux coming here off a solid third at Cheltenham looks a bigger danger especially as his attitude is far better than the Skelton charge. A break was probably what Haul Away needed and he’s still unexposed in this sphere while Irish Roe will appreciate this grade off a reduced mark having finished a good fourth in the Scottish Champion Hurdle last time.
