Verdict
Just Paddy's Band made a winning debut at Kelso in March with Fearless Action in third, though the second failed to frank the form next time. Guidedbythescience appears to be improving with experience and has a mares’ allowance in her favour but may struggle to keep tabs on A DIFFERENT KIND, who bolted up here last month on his debut under Rules and looks one to follow.
