Plastic Paddy returned to winning ways at Lingfield but is penalised and Flyawaydream makes his handicap debut having won at Chepstow. Giovanni Baglione and Adelita have both failed to build on earlier placed efforts while They Don't Know and SMART CONTENDER (NAP) drop back down to today’s shorter trip. The latter is helped by an apprentice’s allowance, however, and gets the vote given it’s difficult to ignore anything from the Crisfords' yard at present.
