Footpad (2/5), Petit Mouchoir (4/1), Castlegrace Paddy (9/1), Asthuria (20/1), Saturnas (20/1), Optimus Prime (25/1), Calino D'Airy (33/1)
FOOTPAD has barely put a foot wrong this season and any worries that Cheltenham might find him out in the Arkle were easily brushed aside. As others made mistakes, or simply went off too quickly, he simply did his own thing and was far too good for them. He can finish his season off with another win. Petit Mouchoir , behind Footpad at Cheltenham, would look the obvious one for second but he can make mistakes, and those looking for the forecast can look at both the sound-jumping Castlegrace Paddy and, at a likely bigger price, Calino D'Airy.
