Race Stats
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): M Appleby (97 wins from 737 runners, 13%) runs ALEXANDER JAMES & PLASTIC PADDY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Appleby (10 wins from 42 runners, 24%) runs ALEXANDER JAMES & PLASTIC PADDY LONGEST TRAVELLER: CHIEF’S WILL trained by A Watson, Upper Lambourn, 131 miles.
While PLASTIC PADDY’s five career wins have been gained at other all-weather tracks (0-4 here), there is no reason to believe that he isn’t just as effective here as anywhere else and a 4lb rise for his latest success at Newcastle probably underestimates him. Local Bay is 2-2 at this course and he is feared, despite stepping up in class, while Tropez Power and Soames Forsyte are others to consider in a pretty competitive handicap
