Verdict
Ask Paddy bolted up in a conditionals’ race over a similar trip at Catterick last Friday and escapes a penalty. But he was allowed an easy lead and it may not pay to take that form at face value given he’s likely to start at very short odds here. Slidecheck and the penalised Simmply Sam, well backed when successful at Ayr, are also recent winners and LOCHALSH has been running well enough to get involved. Katie Scott’s charge won at Ayr back in December and has been tackling better company lately. He didn’t last home over 3m at Musselbugh on his latest outing.
