Verdict
THE WELSH PADDIES (NAP) is fancied to go one better than at Uttoxeter. He looked unlucky that day and the third and fourth have both won easily since. Silver Kayf showed plenty of promise in decent bumpers last season and will be a danger if taking to hurdles but Molineaux, second on his hurdling debut at Wincanton in February, disappointed when stepped up in trip at Taunton. Jabulani won a soft-ground bumper at Ffos Las in March but was well beaten on a return visit.
