Formscan - PADDY DE POLE is likely to prove popular for the Paul Nicholls team after winning three handicaps before a good third at Fontwell, when weakening late on over 3m2f. He returns to novice company over shorter and looks the one they all have to beat, with Gale Mahler the obvious danger in receipt of 11lb. Two bumper victories and a maiden hurdle success mean Adrian Keatley's mare is a major player. Southwell handicap second Flying Fortune could chase them home.
