Verdict

This is a shocker and though Paddocks Lounge only won a seller at Leicester 10 days ago it would be no surprise if he came out on top again. WAZOWSKI has had his problems but was only beaten a neck over a longer trip here last time. He’s 3lb higher now but a repeat of that effort may well suffice. Peppay Le Pugh might do better now handicapping but Sunday Central ran poorly at Leicester after a better effort at Uttoxeter.
