Another complicated sprint to unravel with PADDY POWER the choice off what looks a workable mark. He was an improved performer last season when giving the impression that nowadays he is more effective over 6f rather than the minimum trip. Manshood is another of interest towards the foot of the weights and can be involved the shake-up but is one of four Paul Midgley entries. The race-fit Poyle Vinnie also warrants a mention and there are a number of others who are well-treated if able to recover their best, most notably Mobsta for whom the Channon team have booked De Sousa. Naadirr has an excellent record at the track and will come into contention if the ground dries out a little more.
