Mourne Paddy and LORD OF DRUMS were due to run here on Tuesday evening and the latter is taken to score if Lucinda Russell takes the two runs in two days route. He looks the most progressive of these, turns up in good form and looks to have more scope for improvement than his rivals. Triple point-to-point scorer Mourne Paddy looks likely to need further in time but his earlier third here to Toledo Gold over this trip gives him a shout. Endeavor has taken well to fences and is 5lb better off for a 5l beating by the selection last time. He could well get closer here but is not expected to reverse placings. The Paddy Premium may challenge for prize-money.
