In depth
Verdict
Factor Fifteen shaped well enough on his Musselburgh debut to get the vote over Inglwood and Paddy The Piper. Although not in the same class as other Howard Johnson-trained ex-Flat horses such as Inglis Drever and Chivalry, Factor Fifteen made the long odds-on Contraband pull out all the stops on his debut over timber at Musselburgh, and should have learnt enough to go one better here. Paddy The Piper, a dual bumper winner at Catterick and Wetherby, has been ready to run for some time now and by all accounts has schooled exceptionally well. He will be a danger, perhaps more so than Inglewood who was lucky to collect at Bangor in August when the leader Downtherefordancin came to grief. He did though have a recent spin on the all-weather at Wolverhampton so should be straight enough. The one to be on this time though is Factor Fifteen who can give his in-form stable another winner.
