A low grade handicap in which Paudi The Punter can make his presence felt despite his big weight as he ran his best race for some time at Down Royal on Friday. BACK TO DRUMDEEL had been chasing before reverting to hurdles and chasing home Cool Oscar at Punchestown last month. He hadn't shown much previously but would be very difficult to beat in that kind of form and gets the verdict. Black Cache was beaten a long way at Tipperary last time but would have a chance on his previous start there while the market is best watched for signs of support for any of the remaining moderate performers.
