Though placed on numerous occasions, Papradon has struggled to get his head in front since winning at Newton Abbot back in August and may find one too good here in RED JESTER. It's also been some time since the latter was in the winner's enclosure, but he just failed to peg back Kilos over C&D last week and looks back on a winning mark now. Wee Ziggy showed signs of a return to form at Hereford last time and See You Jack has claims off a 10lb lower mark since he last raced in a handicap.
