PADDYS PLANET left his hurdles form behind when fifth on chase debut at Punchestown a fortnight ago and with further progress likely, he looks the one to beat. Sovereign Gold suffered a heavy defeat when last seen in March but is a massive threat if back on her game, with Gateau de Miel likely to be well prepared for this chase debut.
