PRIDE OF PARIS ended his time with Victor Dartnall on a low-key note but remains unexposed in handicaps and a chance is taken he'll be back to his best having joined the Harry Derham yard. Pipers Cross arrives after a pair of sound efforts in defeat and should be involved again, whilst veteran I'm A Starman has slipped to a good mark and would have a chance if getting back to the level of his return.
