Formscan - PADDY IN THE CADDY got off the mark over fences at just the second time of asking when emerging as the ready winner of a similar contest at Warwick last week and has to be a serious player turned out quickly under a 7lb penalty. Dunstall Rambler worked wonders to stay on his feet after a bad mistake four out at Ludlow most recently and also enters calculations given that effort can be upgraded. Chasing debutants Smart Casual and Coup De Gold are others to monitor in the betting.
