A wide open finale for the ladies where we have narrowed it down to a short list of Paddywack, The Cayterers, Beau Marche and Tuscan Flyer and we will side with Paddywack. David Chapman's nine-year-old goes from strength-to-stength and has won three already this summer having dropped in the weights following a long losing run. Although all those wins have come over the minimum trip, he has won over 6f and with cut in the ground. The manner of his latest success suggests he can defy another penalty and we will back him to do so. The Cayterers is vastly inferior in experience, but is improving and acts over this trip. He would prefer it to dry out here and unless it does his chance will be impaired. Beau Marche does not win often and would definitely prefer fast ground to have his best chance here, while Tuscan Flyer is another who prefers a road and is probably better over the minimum. But Paddywack is in smart form at present and can continue that here.
