Formscan - Paddy O'Mahler's jumping let him down at Wetherby when odds-on to confirm the promise of his chasing debut second. There will be plenty who keep the faith but a safer option might be COSMIC BLIZZARD, who only just failed to catch a subsequent winner at Kelso and the reapplication of cheekpieces could help spark that little bit of improvement necessary for him to go one better. Jo Coko hasn't been seen since February but commands attention on his handicap/fencing/stable bow.
