Forecasts

Paddydaddy (6/4), Cuckaloo Hill (9/4), Magnetic North (5/1), Alto Sax (10/1), Unterberg (18/1), Gallo Dell Cielo (18/1), Pandion Power (20/1), Lady Christa (22/1), Theophilos (33/1), Brandon Creek (33/1), La Tulipe Noire (40/1), Shining Aitch (50/1), Miss Nifty (66/1)

Verdict

PADDYDADDY races off the same mark as when a good second at Down Royal on Saturday and looks the one to beat if coping with the quick turnaround. Cuckaloo Hill was suited by the step up to this trip when an improved second on her handicap debut and reappearance and is second choice ahead of Lady Christa, who enjoyed a productive 2024 and can go well if primed for her reappearance.
