This has all the hallmarks of a confidence booster for Paddywack and the six-year-old is just preferred over Catch The Cat, Time N Time Again and Carlton - although the unexposed Noble Lady is sure to have her supporters for this first try on turf. However, Paddywack, who has dropped to a handy mark after finding life tough in handicaps this term, has started to fire of late and should be able to use this as a stepping stone to better things. He is a speedy individual on his day and, with a high draw very much in his favour, he is the one to beat in what should be a furiously-run affair.
