PLASTIC PADDY still looks ahead of his mark and looks the way to go after another decent effort at Southwell on Tuesday night. Starshiba didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Lingfield last time and is next on the list, with 3-time C&D winner Abnaa appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
