None of these inspire confidence but PADS had notched-up a string of placed efforts before a below par run at Hexham. He may prove good enough off his current mark given Gordon Elliott’s Rightdownthemiddle failed to complete at Newton Abbot when last in action and compatriot Caerleon Kate has to race off a 10lb higher mark in this country. Jessiemac has failed to figure since scoring at Cartmel back in May while Letemgo has his first outing after wind surgery and Our Cilla has had a recent outing on the Flat.
