Forecasts

Alexei (4/7), Mydaddypaddy (11/8), Mange Tout (4/1), Lucky Place (9/2), Melon (18/1)

Verdict

Successful on 2 of his first 3 starts over hurdles (excuses when second here latterly), MYDADDYPADDY found further progress and shaped a shade better than the result too when an excellent third in the Supreme at Cheltenham in March. A notably nimble jumper, he remains open to improvement and is fancied to make a winning return. Alexei did nothing but improve throughout 2025/26, including when making the frame in Grade 1s on his final 2 starts and comfortably rates the lead threat.

  1. MYDADDYPADDY (IRE)
  2. ALEXEI (GER)
  3. MANGE TOUT (FR)
