PARK PADDOCKS had any amount in hand when winning a maiden at Cork recently and appears to have plenty scope for doing better things now sent handicapping by the title-chasing Gordon Elliott. This opening mark looks unlikely to test the ceiling of his ability and he can make a winning start in handicaps. Lord In Red has shown enough in maidens to suggest his opening mark won't prove beyond him while Apparition also ranks amongst the potential improvers. Western Ruler dotted up at Fairyhouse on handicap bow and should build a challenge from 9lb higher while Chesterfield King, Eastview Boy and Moonmeister are all worth noting.
