Verdict
The in-form Micky Hammond has two entries here with Paddling looking the pick after three decent runs over 2m3f on this track, though he's never raced over a trip this far. Ask Paddy completed a hat-trick over hurdles in early 2017 and made all in first-time cheekpieces over the course and distance a couple of weeks ago. He's up 6lb as is BENARTY HILL, who also scored over the track and trip last time. The latter looked in top form that day and can follow up as So Satisfied, another course and distance winner, was in poor form last spring and has had wind surgery.
