The veteran PADDY THE OSCAR has been in good form so far this season and he can reverse recent Exeter runner with Sonoftheking by taking this opening handicap chase. The selection should appreciate the extra furlong today and he can get the better of Nicky Martin's charge with Tb Broke Her taken to finish third having placed over this trip in the past.
