This is for horses rated 109 or less over hurdles and YOUNG PADDYMC (NAP), who went up 10lb after winning a handicap hurdle off 102, has been dropped enough to squeeze in and he made a highly satisfactory debut over fences at Limerick. Roxboro Road attracted support on his chasing bow at Tramore and though never in contention will have come on for the experience. Smithscorner has been running quite well over hurdles and has had a run over fences while Guided By You has shown enough to suggest he can make his presence felt though may do better in handicaps, a remark that also applies to Loupgarou.
