7 Runners declared for Paradise Listed stakes over the straight mile,on ground described as good/firm .This looks good quality listed contest .The three main contenders look to be ENNAADD , FIRMAMENT & MONDIALISTE .

ENNAADD : Four-year-old Colt ,winning 4 out 7 .Useful sort on All weather ,winning four times ,including winning Hyde listed Stakes in November .Finished fair 2L fourth of 12 on seasonal reappearance in Mile All Weather Championships at Lingfield in March ,behind the useful Sovereign Dept .Unproven on turf and has 3lb penalty ,though has some big G1 entries .Interesting contender .

FIRMAMENT : Five-year-old gelding ,winning 4 out 19 ,showed progressive form last season ,including winning 3 handicaps over mile .Also finished creditable third in Balmoral Handicap over C&D at Ascot,off mark 108 .Takes step up in class on seasonal reappearance ,though can't be ruled out .

MONDIALISTE: Seven-year-old entire ,winning 5 out  24 .Shown some useful form over last two seasons , including winning the G1 Arlington Million at Woodbine in August .Also finished creditable 2ND in G2 York stakes ,behind Time Test.No show at Meydan in G1 Dubai Turf last month ,though obvious claims returning listed company .


VERDICT : MONDIALISTE needs to bounce back after disappointing effort at Meydan last time ,though is proven winner in group one company in North America ,including winning Arlington million last season.Will be suited by this big drop in class .Odds around 7-2 look good  value .
