Match Play found fast going against him over the minimum trip at Leicester and this extra furlong should suit. Stablemate Catch The Paddy is by No Nay Never out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two offspring. Mickey Mongoose cost 150,000gns and he's out of a Grade 3 winner at around a mile but a chance is taken with PAPA RICCO, from a stable in form and a half-brother to juvenile winner Batz. Thunder Cat is from the first crop of Roaring Lion out of a Group 2-winning two-year-old while the filly Oh Sweet Tabu cost 32,000gns as a foal and three times as much as a yearling. The No Nay Never filly Queen Olly cost a massive €300,000 and is a half-sister to 6f and 7f winner Schooner Ridge.
