FLASH PADDY (3) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 7f at Belmont Park, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at Belmont Park at the previous outing. William Pike gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Finds a more suitable contest and can return to winning ways. DIVINE MERCY (8) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1m3f at Belmont Park. The engagement of Natasha Faithfull is noteworthy. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ALBERICH (1) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when seventh over 1m at Northam after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Has further improvement to come and shapes as a leading player. PRO LATTE (2) will find this a little easier after missing the frame in town last time, finishing 11th over 7f at Belmont Park. Can figure in the finish.
