Verdict

With this step up in trip expected to help unlock further improvement, unexposed 3-y-o PADDY THE SQUIRE gets the nod. A 5 lb rise for his latest success following a second wind op at Ayr looks fair and while conditions were testing that day, he proved that he handles better ground when runner-up on his penultimate start at Pontefract. Chillingham also has low mileage and is next on the list ahead of the Charlie Johnston-trained duo, Struth and Hadrianus (in order of preference), and City Streak.
