Modest fare with only a tentative vote going to Irish raider CANTKIDAKIDDER. Noel Dooly’s charge has only run five times over fences and has shown promise on a couple of occasions, including last time at Tramore. Lovely Schtuff found only one too good at Kelso last month while Paddling was third over course and distance last month but behind Burning Issues at Sedgefield before that. Againn Dul Aghaidh won his latest start at Ffos Las but a 10lb rise looks unduly harsh.
