      Verdict

      Wiffy Chatsby won at Newton Abbot in May and possibly just needed the run on a return visit to the Devon track earlier this month. He's already won a bumper around here but it was hard not to be impressed with PRESENTING PADDY's victory over 2m4f at Fontwell. Only a four-year-old, that was his hurdling debut and just his second career start and he can only improve. Ontheslate has hinted at ability while Lisahane Bog has won six times on the Polytrack, though has much to prove on Turf and over hurdles.
