The Paddy Pie looks to back in form and will help ensure this is run at a good gallop. Following a pipe-opener at Wetherby, Golden Whisky had Enzo D'Airy well behind when second at Chepstow. High Moon should be winning soon over fences with a similar comment applying to Quid Pro Quo and Super Six but first-time cheekpieces transformed IF NOT FOR DYLAN at Sedgefield last month and he should go close again if the headgear works a second time. Garincha looks the pick of the remainder.
