Another wide open handicap here with many in form rivals in opposition including Night Warrior, Paddy Mul and Taffy Dancer and we will take a chance on Paddy Mul. The gelding from the Wilf Storey yard was a good second behind Octane last time out and that rival has since franked the form so off the same mark here Paddy Mul will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Night Warrior won well last time out but that was over a shorter trip and he has yet to prove he stays this far so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Taffy Dancer is another that could go well but he to has to prove he stays this far. Of the remainder Haafel has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Paddy Mul.
