PADDYS RUNNER has been racing over hurdles since his most recent Flat outing here and having run well here in the past he is taken to make a winning return to AW racing for trainer Graeme McPherson. The selection was narrowly beaten over hurdles three starts back and can take this ahead of Belabour who can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by finishing runner-up today. Lady Makfi represents a shrewd handler and she can finish third on her return from a break.
