Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Collen Storey| T: S C Williams| OR: 82| CD

Plastic Paddy^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| BF

11/1

Latest win at Newcastle (1m) in February. Off only 2 days, needed stronger gallop when fifth of 7 in handicap (9/4) at the same course (7.1f) 16 days ago. Not dismissed lightly.

Form: 94-5135

Forecasts

Follow Your Heart (10/3), Tylos (7/2), Revolutionise (4/1), Bellagio Man (5/1), Justcallmepete (5/1), Titan Rock (13/2), Plastic Paddy (11/1), Phantasy Mac (16/1), Glorious Rio (25/1), See You Boy (28/1), Motagally (50/1)

After 6 months off, GLORIOUS RIO shaped well when third at Southwell last time and he can build on that effort with the return to 7f to suit. The 6-y-o is taken to get back to winning ways, with the consistent Justcallmepete heading the list of dangers. Follow Your Heart is also respected in his bid for a four-timer.
