I think PADDYS PLANET is very strong here and at around 3/1 will personally have a nice win bet.

 

Plenty of others in with chances though and the likes of Delias Pet, who needs to jump better but who can pick up prizes when improving that aspect, Gold Creek who may need a bit of leeway from the handicapper but who has won a similar contest at this type of trip and Leish Oscars Son who has also shown glimmers of form may be worth tracking and following in the th first few months of 2022. The likes of WaitillItellyou and Frazer Express are also not without merit.

 

I'm not too swayed by the top end of the market other than PADDYS PLANET but think the value lies with HARDWIRED for Ted Walsh who has had a few near misses and looks a horse who has been prepped for a race somewhere and that could well be today and also BROOKS FALLS who is eased a little in Grade and difficulty and whose win in a nice Maiden at Ballinrobe and some glimmers of ability since stand out in context of the field today.

 

Finally a bit of shrapnel too on the veteran MY MANNEKINEKO who will welcome a witch back to the smaller obstacles and who despite top weight did win it's most recent hurdle race and who could easily run a place if some of the latent potential elsewhere fails to fire today.
