Despite disappointing last time when favourite, PADDYPLEX remains a gelding of interest and the lightly-raced five-year-old has every chance if able to repeat an excellent run on his penultimate start when just inched out by the very useful Dubawi Fifty. He's now back to the trip over which he scored twice last year and is well worth another chance here. Indian Chief looked in need of the run last time and was unlucky on more than one occasion last season. He does need everything to drop right for him with his requisite hold-up tactics but is a key player if the cards fall his way. Tuff Rock has decent claims on the best of his form while Trading Punches and Shamrokh will be seeking to make the most of assured fitness, the latter having already scored twice over the winter.
