ANDREW MULLEN bids for the biggest win of his career on My Paris (3.35) in the £50,000 Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton.
Kevin Ryan's promising young jockey is well acquainted with My Paris having previously steered his partner to victory on turf at no lesser track than Newmarket last summer.
Trying to equate form on the grass to the all-weather is never easy, however, the handsome near-black gelding is a quality act capable of developing into a Group class performer.
The selection might even get an early lead from his front running stable-mate Always Esteemed, who according to the ratings has a major chance and is likely to emerge from the gates like a scalded cat.
But strange things happen in racing, so don't be surprised if My Paris comes steaming by to grab the spoils late on.
One of Ryan's other possible runners in the Lincoln is Kamanda Laugh (4.45), reportedly well forward for his seasonal debut in the Betdirect Conditions Stakes.
Although Kamanda Laugh ended his 2005 campaign on a high with a hard-fought success when trained by Barry Hills, there's nothing to say Ryan won't have improved the five-year-old, undoubtedly a useful acquisition to the yard.
Enford Princess (5.15), who let the side down when tipped to collect at Lingfield recently, is worth one more go. Brooke Sanders' mare could never land a blow at the leaders then, understandable ring rustiness she hopefully won't suffer from again.
