Paddyplex²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60

7/2

Arrives on a lengthy losing run but very much caught the eye when third of 10 in handicap at this course (8.3f) 20 days ago, finishing full of running on back of a tardy start. Interesting.

Forecasts

Gulf Of Poets (3/1), Breguet Boy (3/1), Paddyplex (7/2), Regal Mirage (5/1), Jackhammer (5/1), Ralphy Boy Two (11/2), Markazi (14/1)

A leap of faith is required in supporting PADDYPLEX given the length of his losing run. However, he's tumbled down the weights and very much caught the eye when third over 8.3f here 3 weeks ago, noted finishing full of running on the back of a tardy start. He shades the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with Jackhammer and Regal Mirage expected to also be firmly in the mix.
