Michael Appleby has done well with PLASTIC PADDY, who scored comfortably on his penultimate start over course and distance. A mark of 63 isn't excessive and he should be thereabouts again. Caballero has been knocking on the door and it's hard to see him not being in the mix once more but Kornflake is proving a frustration. Lincoln Gamble goes on the shortlist, however, and The Sedberghian is worth a market check on debut for Sam England.
