Plastic Paddy is penalised for winning a lower grade contest over track and trip and Bringitonboris also steps up in class after scoring here. Invincibly got off the mark when winning by a head at Ayr while Star Shield still looks high enough in the weights. Rich Waters showed no improvement on his handicap debut but RICH DREAM faced a tougher task at Hamilton on his handicap bow and could go close if the cheekpieces bring further progress.
