THE PADDY PIE (4) bids for a hat-trick following victories at Catterick and Newcastle. Also recorded a win over course and distance this season and may continue the fine form. Leading contender. PILGRIMS KING (5) finally ended an eleven-month wait scoring by 0.5L tackling 2m3 1/2f at this venue 43 days ago. Slightly up in trip. Cannot be left out. Warrants close consideration. NO BUT I WILL (2) missed by a neck placing second at Taunton ten days back. Could go one better. Improvement is expected from SHATTERED SOLDIER (3) now wearing a first-time tongue tie.
