RACE SUMMARY

PLASTIC PADDY still looks ahead of his mark and looks the way to go after another decent effort at Southwell on Tuesday night. Starshiba didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Lingfield last time and is next on the list, with 3-time C&D winner Abnaa appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours

PINK PARFAIT won a novice at the track during the autumn and this low-mileage 4-y-o looks ahead of her mark having shaped very well in a race that wasn’t run to suit at Southwell a week ago Novak was heavily backed last time and he should be a factor, with last-time-out winner Kingwell another to note.
